Proverbs 16:14
Berean Standard Bible
The wrath of a king is a messenger of death, but a wise man will pacify it.
Context
12Wicked behavior is detestable to kings,
for a throne is established through righteousness. 13Righteous lips are a king’s delight,
and he who speaks honestly is beloved. 14The wrath of a king is a messenger of death,
but a wise man will pacify it. 15When a king’s face brightens, there is life;
his favor is like a rain cloud in spring. 16How much better to acquire wisdom than gold!
To gain understanding is more desirable than silver.
