The delight of kings [are] righteous lips, And whoso is speaking uprightly he loveth,
The favour of a king [is] to a wise servant, And an object of his wrath is one causing shame!
An abomination to kings [is] doing wickedness, For by righteousness is a throne established.
The fury of a king [is] messengers of death, And a wise man pacifieth it.
Whoso is loving cleanness of heart, Grace [are] his lips, a king [is] his friend.
