Proverbs 16:13

New King James Version

Righteous lips are the delight of kings, And they love him who speaks what is right.

See the chapter Copy

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

He who loves purity of heart And has grace on his lips, The king will be his friend.

It is an abomination for kings to commit wickedness, For a throne is established by righteousness.

As messengers of death is the king’s wrath, But a wise man will appease it.
