Proverbs 16:13

American Standard Version (1901)

Righteous lips are the delight of kings; And they love him that speaketh right.

See the chapter Copy

The king’s favor is toward a servant that dealeth wisely; But his wrath will be against him that causeth shame.

He that loveth pureness of heart, For the grace of his lips the king will be his friend.

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.
