Proverbes 16:12-15

12 Les rois doivent avoir horreur de faire le mal, car c'est la justice qui affermit le trône.
13 Les rois doivent prendre plaisir aux paroles justes, et aimer celui qui parle avec droiture.
14 La fureur du roi est un messager de mort; mais l'homme sage l'apaise.
15 Le visage serein du roi donne la vie; et sa faveur est comme la nuée qui porte la pluie de l'arrière-saison.
