20:016:012 It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.
20:016:013 Righteous lips are the delight of kings; and they love him that speaketh right.
20:016:014 The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it.
20:016:015 In the light of the king's countenance is life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain.
20:016:016 How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!
20:016:017 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
20:016:018 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
20:016:019 Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
20:016:020 He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.
20:016:021 The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.
