TSK · Proverbs 29:4

David reigned over all Israel; he guaranteed justice for all his people.

He did evil in the sight of the LORD; he did not repudiate the sinful ways of Jeroboam son of Nebat who encouraged Israel to sin. During his reign,

Equity and justice are the foundation of your throne. Loyal love and faithfulness characterize your rule.

By me kings reign, and by me potentates decree righteousness;

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

A king sitting on the throne to judge separates out all evil with his eyes.

His dominion will be vast and he will bring immeasurable prosperity. He will rule on David’s throne and over David’s kingdom, establishing it and strengthening it by promoting justice and fairness, from this time forward and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of Heaven’s Armies will accomplish this.

Judgment on Jehoiakim“‘Sure to be judged is the king who builds his palace using injustice and treats people unfairly while adding its upper rooms. He makes his countrymen work for him for nothing. He does not pay them for their labor.

They are experts at doing evil; government officials and judges take bribes, prominent men announce what they wish and then they plan it out.
