Proverbs 16:12-14

Complete Jewish Bible

¹² It is an abomination for a king to do evil,
    for the throne is made secure by righteousness.
¹³ The king should delight in righteous lips,
    and he should love someone who speaks what is right.
¹⁴ The king’s anger is a herald of death,
    and one who is wise will appease it.
