Proverbs 16:15-17

Expanded Bible

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!

¹⁷ ·Good people stay [^LThe highway of those with integrity turns] away from evil.
By ·watching what they do [protecting their path], they ·protect [guard] their lives.
