13The will of kings is just or rightwise lips; he that speaketh rightful or right things, shall be addressed.
14The Indignation of the king is messengers of death; and a wise man shall please him.
15Life is in gladness of the king’s cheer; and his mercy is as rain coming late.
16Wield thou wisdom, for it is better than gold; and get thou prudence, for it is preciouser than silver.
17The path of just or rightwise men boweth away from evils; the keeper of his soul keepeth his way.
18Pride goeth before sorrow; and the spirit shall be enhanced before falling.
