Exegesis
The prepositional phrase bitzdaqah {בִצְדָקָה | bĭts-də-qâ} specifies the instrument of the following Qal imperfect yikon {יִכּוֹן | yik-kôn}, which conveys ongoing establishment, and kisse {כִּסֵּא | kis-sê} is its object. The antithetical parallelism between abhorrence of evil and the basis of stable rule is highlighted by placing the critique of wickedness before the justification of righteous governance.
In context — Proverbs 16:12
Wickedness is detestable to kings, for by righteousness the throne is made secure.
