SEV Biblia, Chapter 16:13

¶ Los labios justos son el contentamiento de los reyes; y aman al que habla lo recto.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 13.
Righteous lips [are] the delight of kings , etc.] Such that speak truth and righteousness, and advise to the administration of justice and judgment, and to do that which is most for their own true honour and the people’s good, are, or ought to be, highly valued and esteemed by kings: but the contrary is too often the case; kings hearken to those that speak lies, that flatter them, and gratify their pride, ambition, and love of power, to the hurt of their subjects; and they love him that speaketh right : agreeably to right reason; which makes for the honour of kings, and the good of those over whom they rule.

Christ loves and delights in those that deliver out his doctrines in the taught words of the Holy Ghost, without any mixture or corruption; that explain, inculcate, and enforce his laws and commands; and faithfully declare the whole counsel of God, both with respect to faith and practice; all which is for his glory, as King of saints, and to the profit and advantage of those who submit to the sceptre of his kingdom.


Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 13 - Put those in power who know how to speak to the purpose.
