¹⁵ If a king is smiling brightly, life will be granted;
    his favor is like a cloud swelled with the first spring rain.
¹⁶ How much better it is to receive wisdom than the riches of gold
    and to gain understanding over some silver prize!
¹⁷ The highway of the just bypasses evil;
    those who watch where they’re going protect their lives from sin.
