12 An abomination to kings 'is' doing wickedness, For by righteousness is a throne established.
13 The delight of kings 'are' righteous lips, And whoso is speaking uprightly he loveth,
14 The fury of a king 'is' messengers of death, And a wise man pacifieth it.
15 In the light of a king's face 'is' life, And his good-will 'is' as a cloud of the latter rain.
16 To get wisdom -- how much better than gold, And to get understanding to be chosen than silver!
