Proverbs 20:8

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

The king, that sitteth on the throne of judgment, scattereth away all evil with his look.

See the chapter Copy

Take away wickedness from the face of the king, and his throne shall be established with justice.

A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth over them the wheel.

The king that judgeth the poor in truth, his throne shall be established for ever.

Go ye into his gates with praise, into his courts with hymns: and give glory to him. Praise ye his name:

BEHOLD, a king shall reign in justice: and princes shall rule in judgment.

They that act wickedly are abominable to the king: for the throne is established by justice.

For there is no regard to their death, nor is there strength in their stripes.

As the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, shineth in the morning without clouds; and as the grass springeth out of the earth by rain.

He that is not with me, is against me: and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth.

He made also the porch of the throne, wherein is the seat of judgment: and covered it with cedar-wood from the floor to the top.
