New Testament

Proverbs 16:13-17 English Standard Version (ESV)

13. Righteous lips are the delight of a king,and he loves him who speaks what is right.

14. A king’s wrath is a messenger of death,and a wise man will appease it.

15. In the light of a king’s face there is life,and his favor is like the clouds that bring the spring rain.

16. How much better to get wisdom than gold!To get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.

17. The highway of the upright turns aside from evil;whoever guards his way preserves his life.
