Isaiah 16:5

Through mercy (caring love, faithfulness – Hebr. chesed) a throne is established,
and one (person) shall sit upon it in truth (stable; secure – Hebr. emet), in David's tent,
one who judges and seeks justice
and is ready for righteousness.
[Grace and truth (Hebr. chesed ve emet) are inseparable. They are always presented in the same order and are found in God's own testimony, see Ex. 34:6. Grace without truth becomes meaningless, while truth without grace becomes merciless.]
