12 It is an abomination to kings to do evil, for ¹the throne is established by righteousness.

13 ²Righteous lips are the delight of a king, and he loves him who speaks what is right.

14 ³A king's wrath is a messenger of death, and a wise man will ⁴appease it.

15 ⁵In the light of a king's face there is life, and his ⁶favor is like ⁷the clouds that bring the spring rain.

16 ⁸How much better to get wisdom than ⁹gold! To get understanding is to be chosen rather than ¹⁰silver.

17 The highway of the upright ¹¹turns aside from evil; whoever guards his way preserves his life.

18 ¹²Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

19 ¹³It is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor than to ¹⁴divide the spoil with the proud.

20 Whoever gives thought to the word^a¹⁵will discover good, and blessed is he ¹⁶who trusts in the LORD.

21 The wise of heart is called discerning, and sweetness of speech ¹⁷increases persuasiveness.

22 Good sense is ¹⁸a fountain of life to him who has it, but the instruction of fools is folly.
