Proverbs 16:13

American King James Version (1999)

Righteous lips are the delight of kings; and they love him that speaks right.

See the chapter Copy

The king's favor is toward a wise servant: but his wrath is against him that causes shame.

It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.

The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it.

He that loves pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.
