Proverbs 16:13-15
Names of God Bible

13 Kings are happy with honest words,
    and whoever speaks what is right is loved.
14 A king’s anger announces death,
    but a wise man makes peace with him.
15 When the king is cheerful, there is life,
    and his favor is like a cloud bringing spring rain.
