Proverbs 16:15-17

Young's Literal Translation

¹⁵In the light of a king's face [is] life, And his good-will [is] as a cloud of the latter rain.

¹⁶To get wisdom -- how much better than gold, And to get understanding to be chosen than silver!

¹⁷A highway of the upright [is], `Turn from evil,' Whoso is preserving his soul is watching his way.
