Proverbs 16:14


Proverbs 16:13 Proverbs 16:14 (KJV) Proverbs 16:15
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.
In the light of the king's countenance [is] life; and his favour [is] as a cloud of the latter rain.
