10 The lips of a king speak as an oracle, and his mouth does not betray justice.
10 A divine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment.
10 An oracle is on the lips of a king; his mouth does not sin in judgment.
10 A good leader motivates, doesn't mislead, doesn't exploit.
10 Divination is on the lips of the king; His mouth must not transgress in judgment.
10 The king speaks with divine wisdom; he must never judge unfairly.
