The divine verdict is in the words of the king, his pronouncements must not act treacherously against justice.

Doesn't my master drink from this cup and use it for divination? You have done wrong!'"

Joseph said to them, "What did you think you were doing? Don't you know that a man like me can find out things like this by divination?"

When he sits on his royal throne he must make a copy of this law on a scroll given to him by the Levitical priests.

The God of Israel spoke, the protector of Israel spoke to me. The one who rules fairly among men, the one who rules in the fear of God,

When all Israel heard about the judicial decision which the king had rendered, they respected the king, for they realized that he possessed supernatural wisdom to make judicial decisions.

Your throne, O God, is permanent. The scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of justice.

For Solomon. O God, grant the king the ability to make just decisions! Grant the king's son the ability to make fair decisions!

The king is strong; he loves justice. You ensure that legal decisions will be made fairly; you promote justice and equity in Jacob.

Doing wickedness is an abomination to kings, because a throne is established in righteousness.

Look, a king will promote fairness; officials will promote justice.

"I, the Lord, promise that a new time will certainly come when I will raise up for them a righteous branch, a descendant of David. He will rule over them with wisdom and understanding and will do what is just and right in the land.

They utter empty words, taking false oaths and making empty agreements. Therefore legal disputes sprout up like poisonous weeds in the furrows of a plowed field.

The Israelites turn justice into bitterness; they throw what is fair and right to the ground.

Can horses run on rocky cliffs? Can one plow the sea with oxen? Yet you have turned justice into a poisonous plant, and the fruit of righteous actions into a bitter plant.
