Righteouslipsare the delightof kings,And he who speaksrightis loved.
The king'sfavoris toward a servantwho actswisely,But his angeris toward him who actsshamefully.
It is an abominationfor kingsto commitwickedacts,For a throneis establishedon righteousness.
The furyof a kingis [like] messengersof death,But a wisemanwill appeaseit.
He who lovespurityof heart[And] whose speechis gracious,the kingis his friend.
