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.
