Mishle 16:12-14

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹² It is to’evat melachim to commit resha (wickedness), for the kisse is established through tzedakah.

¹³ Sfatayim (lips) of tzedek are the delight of melachim; and they love him that speaketh yesharim (upright things).

¹⁴ The wrath of a melech is as malachim of mavet, but an ish chacham will appease it.
