Common English Bible
10 A king’s speech is like an oracle;
in a judgment, one can’t go against his words.
Proverbs 16:12-15
Legacy Standard Bible
12 It is an abomination for kings to commit wickedness,
For in righteousness a (A)throne is established.
13 Righteous lips are the delight of kings,
And he who speaks uprightly is loved.
14 The wrath of a king is like messengers of death,
But a wise man will atone for it.
15 In the light of a king’s face is life,
And his favor is like a cloud with the [a](B)late rain.

12 Kings detest wicked deeds,
for their thrones are founded on righteousness.
13 Kings favor those with righteous lips;
they love words of integrity.
14 The king’s anger is a messenger of death;
the wise will calm him.
15 There’s life in the light of the king’s face.
His favor is like a cloud that brings spring rain.
