Proverbs 16:14-16

New Life Version

¹⁴The anger of a king carries death, but a wise man will quiet it.

¹⁵Life is in the light of a king’s face, and his favor is like a cloud bringing the spring rain.

¹⁶To get wisdom is much better than getting gold. To get understanding should be chosen instead of silver.
