Mishle 16:15-17

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁵ In the light of the countenance of melech is chayyim, and his favor is like the cloud of a spring rain.

¹⁶ How much better is it to acquire chochmah than zahav, and acquiring binah (understanding) a better choice than kesef!

¹⁷ The mesilat yesharim (highway of the upright) is to depart from rah; he that guards his derech is shomer over his nefesh (soul).
