13 The king is pleased with words from righteous lips; he loves those who speak honestly.
13 Kings take pleasure in honest lips; they value the one who speaks what is right.
14 The anger of the king is a deadly threat; the wise will try to appease it.
14 A king’s wrath is a messenger of death, but the wise will appease it.
15 When the king smiles, there is life; his favor refreshes like a spring rain.
