Proverbs 16:13-15

The Voice

¹³ Kings admire those who tell the truth;
    they adore those who set the record straight.
¹⁴ A king’s rage signals that people will die,
    but whoever is wise will pacify him.
¹⁵ If a king is smiling brightly, life will be granted;
    his favor is like a cloud swelled with the first spring rain.
