Proverbs 16:14-16

Revised Standard Version

¹⁴ A king’s wrath is a messenger of death,
    and a wise man will appease it.
¹⁵ In the light of a king’s face there is life,
    and his favor is like the clouds that bring the spring rain.
¹⁶ To get wisdom is better^[a] than gold;
    to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.
