Proverbs 16:13-15
New Catholic Bible

13 Honest speech is the delight of a king,
    and he loves a man who speaks truthfully.
14 A king’s wrath is like a messenger of death,
    but one who is wise will appease it.
15 When a king’s face brightens it spells life,
    and his favor is like a rain shower[a] in spring.
