| Proverbs 16:10
| Divination is in the lips of the king, his mouth shall not err in judgment.
| Judgment. Or "let it not err," as people look upon the decisions of kings as so many oracles. We ought to act in this manner, as long as they are not visibly unjust. God gave a principal spirit (Psalm 50:14.) to Saul, David, Solomon, and to the judges whom he appointed, 1 Kings 10:9., Deuteronomy 34:9., and Judges 3:10. (Calmet) --- Solomon was thus enabled to decide difficult cases. (Menochius) (Job 29:7.)
