Proverbs [Sayings] 16:13-16

¹³Righteous lips are the delight of kings. They 'ahav ·affectionately love· one who speaks the truth.

¹⁴The king’s wrath is a messenger of death, but a wise man will pacify it.

¹⁵In the light of the king’s face is life. His favor is like a cloud of the spring rain.

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