Proverbs 16:14-16

World English Bible

¹⁴ The king’s wrath is a messenger of death,
    but a wise man will pacify it.
¹⁵ In the light of the king’s face is life.
    His favor is like a cloud of the spring rain.
¹⁶ How much better it is to get wisdom than gold!
    Yes, to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.
