Proverbs 16:12-15
Authorized (King James) Version
12 It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness:
for the throne is established by righteousness.
13 Righteous lips are the delight of kings;
and they love him that speaketh 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 favour is as a cloud of the latter rain.
