Proverbs 16:12-16

It is an abomination for kings to commit wicked acts, Because a throne is established on righteousness.

Righteous lips are the delight of kings, And one who speaks right is loved.

The fury of a king is like messengers of death; But a wise person will appease it.

In the light of a king’s face is life, And his favor is like a cloud with the spring rain.

How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is to be chosen above silver.
