Proverbs 16:12-14

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.
