Charles Ellicott Commentary Proverbs 16:10

"A divine sentence is in the lips of the king; His mouth shall not transgress in judgment." — Proverbs 16:10 (ASV)

His mouth transgresseth not in judgment. —Or, should not transgress, as being the representative of God on earth, and so distinguished by the title of “God” himself (Psalms 82:6). This verse recalls the days of Solomon’s youth, when it was his highest aspiration to judge his people righteously (1 Kings 3:9). Compare David’s noble words (2 Samuel 23:3).
