Proverbs 16:16-20

¹⁶How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! and to get knowledge is more to be desired than silver.

¹⁷The highway of the upright is to be turned away from evil: he who takes care of his way will keep his soul.

¹⁸Pride goes before destruction, and a stiff spirit before a fall.

¹⁹Better it is to have a gentle spirit with the poor, than to take part in the rewards of war with men of pride.

²⁰He who gives attention to the law of right will get good; and whoever puts his faith in the Lord is happy.
