14:28 A king’s glory is the abundance of people,
but the lack of subjects is the ruin of a ruler.
16:15 In the light of the king’s face there is life,
and his favor is like the clouds of the spring rain.
19:12 A king’s wrath is like the roar of a lion,
but his favor is like dew on the grass.
21:1 The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord like channels of water;
he turns it wherever he wants.
22:29 Do you see a person skilled in his work?
He will take his position before kings;
he will not take his position before obscure people.
