Proverbs 16:15-17

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁵ When a king’s face lights up, there is life;
his favor is like a cloud with spring rain.

¹⁶ Get wisdom—
how much better it is than gold!
And get understanding—
it is preferable to silver.^(A)

¹⁷ The highway of the upright^(B) avoids evil;
the one who guards his way protects his life.^(C)
