Proverbs 16:13
"It is an abomination for kings to do wrong, for the throne is established by righteousness."
Key Reflection
This verse emphasizes that a king's authority and right to rule are contingent upon upholding justice and righteousness. When rulers act unjustly, they not only bring moral degradation but also undermine the very foundation of their authority, making their rule unacceptable in God’s eyes.
