13 ¹Righteous lips are the delight of a king, and he loves him who speaks what is right.

14 ²A king's wrath is a messenger of death, and a wise man will ³appease it.

15 ⁴In the light of a king's face there is life, and his ⁵favor is like ⁶the clouds that bring the spring rain.

16 ⁷How much better to get wisdom than ⁸gold! To get understanding is to be chosen rather than ⁹silver.

17 The highway of the upright ¹⁰turns aside from evil; whoever guards his way preserves his life.

18 ¹¹Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

19 ¹²It is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor than to ¹³divide the spoil with the proud.

20 Whoever gives thought to the word^a¹⁴will discover good, and blessed is he ¹⁵who trusts in the LORD.

21 The wise of heart is called discerning, and sweetness of speech ¹⁶increases persuasiveness.

22 Good sense is ¹⁷a fountain of life to him who has it, but the instruction of fools is folly.

23 ¹⁸The heart of the wise makes his speech judicious and adds persuasiveness to his lips.

24 ¹⁹Gracious words are like ²⁰a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and ²¹health to the body.

25 There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.^b

26 A worker's appetite works for him; his ²²mouth urges him on.

27 ²³A worthless man plots evil, and his speech^c is like ²⁴a scorching fire.

28 ²⁵A dishonest man spreads strife, and ²⁶a whisperer ²⁷separates close friends.

29 A man of violence ²⁸entices his neighbor and leads him in a way that is not good.

30 Whoever winks his eyes plans^d²⁹dishonest things; he who ³⁰purses his lips brings evil to pass.

31 ³¹Gray hair is ³²a crown of glory; it ³³is gained in a righteous life.

32 ³⁴Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.

33 ³⁵The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is ³⁶from the LORD.
