Proverbs 16:14-16

Authorized (King James) Version

¹⁴ The wrath of a king is as messengers of death:
    but a wise man will pacify it.

¹⁵ In the light of the king’s countenance is life;
    and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain.

¹⁶ How much better is it to get wisdom than gold!
    and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!
