In context
12 An abomination to kings is doing wickedness, For by righteousness is a throne established.
13 The delight of kings are righteous lips, And whoso is speaking uprightly he loveth,
14 The fury of a king is messengers of death, And a wise man pacifieth it.
15 In the light of a king's face is life, And his good-will is as a cloud of the latter rain.
16 To get wisdom--how much better than gold, And to get understanding to be chosen than silver!
17 A highway of the upright is, `Turn from evil,' Whoso is preserving his soul is watching his way.
18 Before destruction is pride, And before stumbling--a haughty spirit.'
