Proverbs 16:14-18

The fury of a king is like messengers of death; But a wise person will appease it.

In the light of a king’s face is life, And his favor is like a cloud with the spring rain.

How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is to be chosen above silver.

The highway of the upright is to turn away from evil; One who watches his way protects his life.

Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before stumbling.
