v. 12. It is an abomination to kings, it makes them objects of loathing and contempt, to commit wickedness, the setting aside of right and justice causes both God and men to despise them; for the throne is established by righteousness, regal power is sustained by righteousness in its constant application, not by the arbitrariness of the despot.
