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.
