Proverbs 16:14
King James Version
“The wrath of a king messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it.”
Context
11A just weight and balance the LORD’S: all the weights of the bag his work.
12an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.
13Righteous lips the delight of kings; and they love him that speaketh right.
14The wrath of a king messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it.
15In the light of the king’s countenance life; and his favour as a cloud of the latter rain.
16How much better to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!
17The highway of the upright to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
