Proverbs 16:14-16

American Standard 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 favor is as a cloud of the latter rain.
¹⁶ How much better is it to get wisdom than gold!
Yea, to get understanding is rather to be chosen than silver.
