Proverbs 16:15-17

Darby Translation

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

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

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