Proverbs 16:14 BBE

¹²  Evil-doing is disgusting to kings: for the seat of the ruler is based on righteousness.

¹³  Lips of righteousness are the delight of kings; and he who says what is upright is dear to him.

¹⁴  The wrath of the king is like those who give news of death, but a wise man will put peace in place of it.

¹⁵  In the light of the king's face there is life; and his approval is like a cloud of spring rain.

¹⁶  How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! and to get knowledge is more to be desired than silver.
