Proverbs 16:13

The Passion Translation

Kings and leaders love to hear godly counsel, and they love those who tell them the truth.

See the chapter Copy

A wise and faithful servant receives promotion from the king, but the one who acts disgracefully gets to taste the anger of the king.

Kings and leaders despise wrongdoing, for the true authority to rule and reign is built on a foundation of righteousness.

The anger of a king releases the messenger of death, but a wise person will know how to pacify his wrath.

The Lord loves those whose hearts are holy, and he is the friend of those whose ways are pure.
