Proverbs 16:13

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

Just lips are the delight of kings: he that speaketh right things shall be loved.

See the chapter Copy

A wise servant is acceptable to the king: he that is good for nothing shall feel his anger.

He that loveth cleanness of heart, for the grace of his lips shall have the king for his friend.

They that act wickedly are abominable to the king: for the throne is established by justice.

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