Proverbs 16:13

God's Word

Kings are happy with honest words, and whoever speaks what is right is loved.

See the chapter Copy

A king is delighted with a servant who acts wisely, but he is furious with one who acts shamefully.

Wrongdoing is disgusting to kings because a throne is established through righteousness.

A king’s anger announces death, but a wise man makes peace with him.

Whoever loves a pure heart and whoever speaks graciously has a king as his friend.
