12 [It is] an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.
13 Righteous lips [are] the delight of kings; and they love him that speaketh right.
14 The wrath of a king [is as] messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it.
15 In the light of a king's countenance [is] life; and his favor [is] as a cloud of the latter rain.
16 How much better [is it] to get wisdom than gold? and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver?
