Proverbs 16:13

Revised Version with Apocrypha 1895

Righteous lips are the delight or kings; And they love him that speaketh right.

See the chapter Copy

The king's favour is toward a servant that dealeth wisely: But his wrath shall be against him that causeth shame.

It is an abomination to 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 pacify it.

He that loveth pureness of heart, For the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.
