Proverbs 16:10

A divine sentence Lit. divination, A.V. and R.V. marg. The word is generally used in a bad sense, "soothsaying." See Deuteronomy 18:10, where it is positively forbidden, and 1 Samuel 15:23, where it is called a "sin." Here, however, it has a good meaning: the true king in judgement, like the true prophet in preaching, "speaks as oracles of God" (1 Peter 4:11. See 1 Kings 3:28).
