14 The wrath of a king is a messenger of death, but one who is wise will appease it.
15 In the light of the face of the king there is life, and his favor is like a cloud of spring rain.
16 Getting wisdom: how much better than gold! And getting understanding: it is chosen over silver.
17 The highway of the upright, it turns from evil, he who guards himself keeps his way.
18 Before destruction comes pride, and before a fall, a haughty spirit.
19 Better a lowly spirit with the poor than dividing the spoil with the proud.
20 He who is attentive to a matter will find goodness, and he who trusts in Yahweh, his own happiness.
