Proverbs 16:15 Context
13Righteous lips are the delight of kings: and they loue him that speaketh right. 14The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise man will pacifie it. 15In the light of the kings countenance is life, and his fauour is as a cloude of the latter raine. 16How much better is it to get wisedome, then gold? and to get vnderstanding, rather to be chosen then siluer? 17The high way of the vpright is to depart from euill: hee that keepeth his way, preserueth his soule.
