14 ¹A king's wrath is a messenger of death, and a wise man will ²appease it.

15 ³In the light of a king's face there is life, and his ⁴favor is like ⁵the clouds that bring the spring rain.

16 ⁶How much better to get wisdom than ⁷gold! To get understanding is to be chosen rather than ⁸silver.

17 The highway of the upright ⁹turns aside from evil; whoever guards his way preserves his life.

18 ¹⁰Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

19 ¹¹It is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor than to ¹²divide the spoil with the proud.

20 Whoever gives thought to the word^a¹³will discover good, and blessed is he ¹⁴who trusts in the LORD.

21 The wise of heart is called discerning, and sweetness of speech ¹⁵increases persuasiveness.

22 Good sense is ¹⁶a fountain of life to him who has it, but the instruction of fools is folly.

23 ¹⁷The heart of the wise makes his speech judicious and adds persuasiveness to his lips.

24 ¹⁸Gracious words are like ¹⁹a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and ²⁰health 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 ²¹mouth urges him on.

27 ²²A worthless man plots evil, and his speech^c is like ²³a scorching fire.

28 ²⁴A dishonest man spreads strife, and ²⁵a whisperer ²⁶separates close friends.

29 A man of violence ²⁷entices his neighbor and leads him in a way that is not good.

30 Whoever winks his eyes plans^d²⁸dishonest things; he who ²⁹purses his lips brings evil to pass.

31 ³⁰Gray hair is ³¹a crown of glory; it ³²is gained in a righteous life.

32 ³³Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.

33 ³⁴The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is ³⁵from the LORD.
