Proverbs 16:12-15

12It is an abomination to kings to do evil, for the throne is established by righteousness.

13Righteous lips are the delight of a king, and he loves him who speaks what is right.

14A king's wrath is a messenger of death, and a wise man will appease it.

15In the light of a king's face there is life, and his favor is like the clouds that bring the spring rain.
