Proverbs 16:14-19
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 16
14
The fury of a king is
like
messengers of death;
But a wise person will appease it.
15
In the light of a king’s face is life,
And his favor is like a cloud
with
the spring rain.
16
How much better it is to get wisdom than gold!
And to get understanding is to be chosen above silver.
17
The highway of the upright is to turn away from evil;
One who watches his way protects his life.
18
Pride
goes
before destruction,
And a haughty spirit before stumbling.
19
It is better to be humble in spirit with the needy
Than to divide the spoils with the proud.
King James Version
Chapter 16
14
The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it.
15
In the light of the king's countenance is life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain.
16
How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!
17
The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
18
Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
19
Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 16
14
A king’s fury is a messenger of death,
but a wise person appeases it.
15
When a king’s face lights up, there is life;
his favor is like a cloud with spring rain.
16
Get wisdom—
how much better it is than gold!
And get understanding—
it is preferable to silver.
17
The highway of the upright avoids evil;
the one who guards his way protects his life.
18
Pride comes before destruction,
and an arrogant spirit before a fall.
19
Better to be lowly of spirit with the humble
than to divide plunder with the proud.
New Living Translation
Chapter 16
14
The anger of the king is a deadly threat;
the wise will try to appease it.
15
When the king smiles, there is life;
his favor refreshes like a spring rain.
16
How much better to get wisdom than gold,
and good judgment than silver!
17
The path of the virtuous leads away from evil;
whoever follows that path is safe.
18
Pride goes before destruction,
and haughtiness before a fall.
19
Better to live humbly with the poor
than to share plunder with the proud.
English Standard Version
