Proverbs 16:14

In context

12Doing wickedness is an abomination to kings, for a throne is made firm by righteousness. 13Righteous lips are a king’s delight, and he loves the one who speaks what is right. 14A king’s fury is a messenger of death, but a wise man will appease it. 15In the light of a king’s face there is life, and his favor is like a cloud of spring rain. 16To get wisdom—how much better than gold! And to get understanding is chosen above silver.
