Mishle 16:13-17 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

13. Sfatayim (lips) of tzedek are the delight of melachim; and they love him that speaketh yesharim (upright things).

14. The wrath of a melech is as malachim of mavet, but an ish chacham will appease it.

15. In the light of the countenance of melech is chayyim, and his favor is like the cloud of a spring rain.

16. How much better is it to acquire chochmah than zahav, and acquiring binah (understanding) a better choice than kesef!

17. The mesilat yesharim (highway of the upright) is to depart from rah; he that guards his derech is shomer over his nefesh (soul).
