Proverbs 16:13
Berean Standard Bible
Righteous lips are a king’s delight, and he who speaks honestly is beloved.
Context
11Honest scales and balances are from the LORD;
all the weights in the bag are His concern. 12Wicked behavior is detestable to kings,
for a throne is established through righteousness. 13Righteous lips are a king’s delight,
and he who speaks honestly is beloved. 14The wrath of a king is a messenger of death,
but a wise man will pacify it. 15When a king’s face brightens, there is life;
his favor is like a rain cloud in spring.
