Proverbs 16:14

Compare all

12 It is an abomination for kings to commit wickedness,
For ^aa throne is established by righteousness.

13 ^aRighteous lips are the delight of kings,
And they love him who speaks what is right.

14 As messengers of death is the king’s wrath,
But a wise man will ^aappease it.

15 In the light of the king’s face is life,
And his favor is like a ^acloud of the latter rain.

16 ^aHow much better to get wisdom than gold!
And to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.
