Proverbs 16:15

¹³ Righteous lips are a king’s delight, and he who speaks honestly is beloved.

¹⁴ The wrath of a king is a messenger of death, but a wise man will pacify it.

When a king’s face brightens, there is life; his favor is like a rain cloud in spring.

¹⁶ How much better to acquire wisdom than gold! To gain understanding is more desirable than silver.

¹⁷ The highway of the upright leads away from evil; he who guards his way protects his life.
