Proverbs 16:13-15
Amplified Bible

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.
15 
In the light of the king’s face is life,
And his favor is like a cloud bringing the spring rain.
