Proverbs 16:15-17

Modern English Version

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 to get wisdom than gold!
    And to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver!

¹⁷ The highway of the upright is to depart from evil;
    he who keeps his way preserves his soul.
