Proverbs 16:15-17

New King James Version

¹⁵In the light of the king’s face is life,
And his favor is like a ^(A)cloud of the latter rain.

¹⁶^(B)How much better to get wisdom than gold!
And to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.

¹⁷The highway of the upright is to depart from evil;
He who keeps his way preserves his soul.
