13Lips of righteousness are the delight of kings; and he who says what is upright is dear to him.
14The wrath of the king is like those who give news of death, but a wise man will put peace in place of it.
15In the light of the king's face there is life; and his approval is like a cloud of spring rain.
16How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! and to get knowledge is more to be desired than silver.
17The highway of the upright is to be turned away from evil: he who takes care of his way will keep his soul.
18Pride goes before destruction, and a stiff spirit before a fall.
19Better it is to have a gentle spirit with the poor, than to take part in the rewards of war with men of pride.
20He who gives attention to the law of right will get good; and whoever puts his faith in the Lord is happy.
