Proverbs 16:15-21

¹⁵In the cheerfulness of the king’s countenance is life: and his clemency is like the latter rain.

¹⁶Get wisdom, because it is better than gold: and purchase prudence, for it is more precious than silver.

¹⁷The path of the just departeth from evils: he that keepeth his soul keepeth his way.

¹⁸Pride goeth before destruction: and the spirit is lifted up before a fall.

¹⁹It is better to be humbled with the meek, than to divide spoils with the proud.

²⁰The learned in word shall find good things: and he that trusteth in the Lord is blessed.

²¹The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and he that is sweet in words shall attain to greater things.
