Proverbs 16:13-15

Lexham English Bible

¹³ The delight of kings are the lips of righteousness,
    and he who speaks what is upright he will love.
¹⁴ The wrath of a king is a messenger of death,
    but one who is wise will appease^[a] it.
¹⁵ In the light of the face of the king there is life,
    and his favor is like a cloud of spring rain.
