Proverbs 16:13-15

Revised Standard Version

¹³ Righteous lips are the delight of a king,
    and he loves him who speaks what is right.
¹⁴ A king’s wrath is a messenger of death,
    and a wise man will appease it.
¹⁵ In the light of a king’s face there is life,
    and his favor is like the clouds that bring the spring rain.
