Proverbs 16:14-16

New International Version - UK

¹⁴ A king’s wrath is a messenger of death,
    but the wise will appease it.

¹⁵ When a king’s face brightens, it means life;
    his favour is like a rain cloud in spring.

¹⁶ How much better to get wisdom than gold,
    to get insight rather than silver!
