Proverbs 16:13

Hebrew Names version (HNV)

Righteous lips are the delight of kings. They value one who speaks the truth.

See the chapter Copy

The king's favor is toward a servant who deals wisely, but his wrath is toward one who causes shame.

It is an abomination for kings to do wrong, for the throne is established by righteousness.

The king's wrath is a messenger of death, but a wise man will pacify it.

He who loves purity of heart and speaks gracefully is the king's friend.
