Proverbs 16:14 in Context — Proverbs 16
12 Os reis abominam fazer perversidade, porque com justiça é que se confirma o trono.
13 Os lábios justos são do agrado dos reis, e eles amam ao que fala palavras direitas.
14 A ira do rei é como mensageiros de morte; mas o homem sábio a apaziguará.
15 No brilho do rosto do rei há vida; e seu favor é como uma nuvem de chuva tardia.
16 Obter sabedoria é tão melhor do que o ouro! E obter sabedoria é mais excelente do que a prata.
