Proverbs 16:16

Proverbs Of Solomon

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. ¹⁷ The highway of the upright avoids evil;
the one who guards his way protects his life.
