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.

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

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.
