Proverbs 22:11

He that loveth cleanness of heart, for the grace of his lips shall have the king for his friend.

He. Septuagint, "the Lord loveth pious hearts. All the irreproachable are acceptable to him. The king feeds with lips," by his just ordinances. (Haydock) --- Kings hate duplicity; but require that the truth should be disclosed to them in a suitable manner.
