Proverbs 16:16-18

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.

¹⁸Pride goes before destruction, and folly before a fall.
