Thematic Bible
King » Rights and duties of
The king establishes (stabilizes) the land by justice,
But a man who takes bribes overthrows it.
If a king faithfully and truthfully judges the poor,
His throne shall be established forever.
O house of David, thus says the Lord:
“Administer justice in the morning,
And rescue the one who has been robbed from the hand of his oppressor,
That My wrath will not roar up like fire
And burn so [hotly] that none can extinguish it,
Because of the evil of their deeds.
Verse Concepts
And rescue the one who has been robbed from the hand of his oppressor,
That My wrath will not roar up like fire
And burn so [hotly] that none can extinguish it,
Because of the evil of their deeds.
If a ruler pays attention to lies [and encourages corruption],
All his officials will become wicked.
It is the glory of God to conceal a matter,
But the glory of kings is to search out a matter.
Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne will be established in righteousness (moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation). Be not forward (self-assertive and boastfully ambitious) in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men;
By patience and a calm spirit a ruler may be persuaded,
And a soft and gentle tongue breaks the bone [of resistance].
