Proverbs 16:14-16

Expanded Bible

¹⁴ An angry king ·can put someone to [^Lis a messenger of] death,
so a wise person will ·try to make him happy [appease/calm him].

¹⁵ ·A smiling king can give people [^LIn the light of the face of the king there is] life;
his ·kindness [favor] is like a ·spring shower [^Lcloud that brings late rain].

¹⁶ It is better to get wisdom than gold,
and to choose understanding rather than silver!
