Proverbs 16:15-17

New International Reader's Version

¹⁵ When a king’s face is happy, it means life.
    His favor is like rain in the spring.

¹⁶ It is much better to get wisdom than gold.
    It is much better to choose understanding than silver.

¹⁷ The path of honest people takes them away from evil.
    Those who guard their ways guard their lives.
