Proverbs
Chapters 16:14-20
English Revised Version
14The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it.
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 gold! yea, to get understanding is rather to be chosen than silver.
17The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
18Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
19Better it is to be of a lowly spirit with the poor, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
20He that giveth heed unto the word shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.
