¹³ Righteous lips are the delight of kings. They value one who speaks the truth.

³⁵ The king's favor is toward a servant who deals wisely, But his wrath is toward one who causes shame.

¹¹ He who loves purity of heart and speaks gracefully Is the king's friend.

⁵ I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I won't tolerate one who is haughty and conceited.

⁶ My eyes will be on the faithful of the land, That they may dwell with me. He who walks in a perfect way, He will serve me.

⁷ He who practices deceit won't dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood won't be established before my eyes.
