"What a king says are insightful decisions". Some of these proverbs mention a king. As in other cases, this is intended to apply to all rulers. Chapter 16 continues the section which is attributed to Solomon and is filled mainly with short, individual proverbs, that run along common themes, often including contrasting elements: wise/foolish, money, lazy/diligent, truth telling, wicked/righteous, sluggard, pride/humility, integrity/crookedness
# his mouth should not betray justice
The word "mouth" represents the king himself. Alternate translation: "he should not speak deceitfully when he judges" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-synecdoche]])
