Proverbs 16:13-15
New King James Version

13 (A)Righteous lips are the delight of kings,
And they love him who speaks what is right.
14 As messengers of death is the king’s wrath,
But a wise man will (B)appease it.
15 In the light of the king’s face is life,
And his favor is like a (C)cloud of the latter rain.
