15 ¹In the light of a king's face there is life, and his ²favor is like ³the clouds that bring the spring rain.

16 ⁴How much better to get wisdom than ⁵gold! To get understanding is to be chosen rather than ⁶silver.

17 The highway of the upright ⁷turns aside from evil; whoever guards his way preserves his life.

18 ⁸Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

19 ⁹It is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor than to ¹⁰divide the spoil with the proud.

20 Whoever gives thought to the word^a¹¹will discover good, and blessed is he ¹²who trusts in the LORD.

21 The wise of heart is called discerning, and sweetness of speech ¹³increases persuasiveness.

22 Good sense is ¹⁴a fountain of life to him who has it, but the instruction of fools is folly.

23 ¹⁵The heart of the wise makes his speech judicious and adds persuasiveness to his lips.

24 ¹⁶Gracious words are like ¹⁷a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and ¹⁸health 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 ¹⁹mouth urges him on.

27 ²⁰A worthless man plots evil, and his speech^c is like ²¹a scorching fire.

28 ²²A dishonest man spreads strife, and ²³a whisperer ²⁴separates close friends.

29 A man of violence ²⁵entices his neighbor and leads him in a way that is not good.

30 Whoever winks his eyes plans^d²⁶dishonest things; he who ²⁷purses his lips brings evil to pass.

31 ²⁸Gray hair is ²⁹a crown of glory; it ³⁰is gained in a righteous life.

32 ³¹Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.

33 ³²The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is ³³from the LORD.
