Proverbs 16:15 in Context — Proverbs 16

13 Los labios justos son el contentamiento de los reyes; y aman al que habla lo recto.

14 La ira del rey es mensajero de muerte: mas el hombre sabio la evitará.

15 En la alegría del rostro del rey está la vida; y su benevolencia es como nube de lluvia tardía.

16 Mejor es adquirir sabiduría que oro preciado; y adquirir inteligencia vale más que la plata.

17 El camino de los rectos es apartarse del mal: su alma guarda el que guarda su camino.
