Proverbs 16:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is stablished [a]by justice.
13 Righteous lips are the delight of kings, and the king loveth him that speaketh right things.
14 The wrath of a king is as [b]messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it.
