Proverbs 16:15
A church father on this verse
“In the cheerfulness of the face is the life of the king. Whoever deserves to see the cheerful face of Christ, will be given to live with Him forever. Otherwise, on the day of judgment, as it is written, Every flesh will see the salvation of God. But then the reprobate will see Him angry, the just will see Him placid.”

In context
13Righteous lips are acceptable to a king; And he loves right words.
14The anger of a king is a messenger of death; But a wise man will pacify him.
— Proverbs 16:15 —
16The brood of wisdom is more to be chosen than gold, And the brood of prudence more to be chosen than silver.
17The paths of life turn aside from evil; And the ways of righteousness are length of life. He that receives instruction shall be in prosperity; And he that regards reproofs shall be made wise. He that keeps his ways, preserves his own soul; And he that loves his life will spare his mouth.
