Proverbs 16:13

Modern King James Version

Righteous lips are the delight of kings, and they love him who speaks right.

See the chapter Copy

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

It is a hateful thing for 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 quiet it.

He who loves pureness of heart, grace is on his lips; the king shall be his friend.
