Proverbs 16:16 DBY

¹⁴  The fury of a king is [as] messengers of death; but a wise man will pacify it.

¹⁵  In the light of the king's countenance is life, and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain.

¹⁶  How much better is it to get wisdom than fine gold, and the getting of intelligence to be preferred to silver!

¹⁷  The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that taketh heed to his way keepeth his soul.

¹⁸  Pride [goeth] before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
