Proverbs 16:13

Tree of Life Version

Righteous lips are the delight of kings. He loves those who speak honestly.

See the chapter Copy

The king shows favor toward a servant who acts wisely, but his wrath is on one who is disgraceful.

Wrongdoing is an abomination to kings, for a throne is established by righteousness.

A king’s fury is like messengers of death, but a wise man will appease it.

One who loves purity of heart and whose speech is gracious, will have the king as his friend.
