Proverbs 16:13


Proverbs 16:12 Proverbs 16:13 (KJV) Proverbs 16:14
[It is] an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.
Righteous lips [are] the delight of kings; and they love him that speaketh right.
The wrath of a king [is as] messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it.
