Proverbs 16:12-15

12It is an abominationH8441 to kingsH4428 to commit wickednessH7562: for the throneH3678 is establishedH3559 by righteousnessH6666.

13RighteousH6664 lipsH8193 are the delightH7522 or kingsH4428; and they loveH157 him that speaketh rightH3477.

14The wrathH2534 of a kingH4428 is as messengersH4397 of deathH4194: but a wiseH2450 manH376 will pacify it.

15In the lightH216 of the king’sH4428 countenanceH6440 is lifeH2416; and his favour is as a cloudH5645 of the latterH4456 rainH4456.
