Proverbs 16:12-15

¹²An evil-doer is an abomination to a king; for the throne of rule is established by righteousness.

¹³Righteous lips are acceptable to a king; and he loves right words.

¹⁴The anger of a king is a messenger of death; but a wise man will pacify him.

¹⁵The son of a king is in the light of life; and they that are in favour with him are as a cloud of latter rain.
