Proverbs 16:15-17

New International Version

¹⁵ When a king’s face brightens, it means life;^(A)
    his favor is like a rain cloud in spring.^(B)

¹⁶ How much better to get wisdom than gold,
    to get insight^(C) rather than silver!^(D)

¹⁷ The highway of the upright avoids evil;
    those who guard their ways preserve their lives.^(E)
