Proverbs 16:14-19

¹⁴The wrath of a king is messengers of death; But a wise man will pacify it.

¹⁵In the light of the king's countenance is life, And his favor is a like a cloud bringing the latter rain.

¹⁶How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! Yea, to get understanding is rather to be chosen than silver.

¹⁷It is the highway of the upright to depart from evil; He that taketh heed to his way preserveth his life.

¹⁸Pride goeth before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.

¹⁹Better is it to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, Than to share the spoil with the proud.
