Proverbs 16:14-16
International Standard Version
14 The king’s wrath results in a death sentence,
but whoever is wise will appease him.
15 When a king is pleased,[a] there is life,
and his favor is like a cloud that brings spring rain.
16 How much better than gaining gold is the acquisition of wisdom,
the attainment of wisdom better than silver!
