Proverbs 16:12-14

Amplified Bible

¹² 
It is repulsive [to God and man] for kings to behave wickedly,
For a throne is established on righteousness (right standing with God).
¹³ 
Righteous lips are the delight of kings,
And he who speaks right is loved.
¹⁴ 
The wrath of a king is like a messenger of death,
But a wise man will appease it.
