Verse 14 is found in chapter 19 of Proverbs. Prudence is shown by controlling anger and overlooking an offense. In contrast, a king’s anger can be dangerous and his favor like dew. Laziness receives direct criticism because desire without action produces nothing. The passage ends by stating that what makes a person desirable is steadfast love, showing that moral worth surpasses appearance or wealth.
