Proverbs 16:13-15

Modern English Version

¹³ Righteous lips are the delight of kings,
    and they love him who speaks right.

¹⁴ The wrath of a king is as messengers of death,
    but a wise man will pacify it.

¹⁵ In the light of the king’s countenance is life,
    and his favor is as a cloud of the latter rain.
