PROVERBS 16:18-23

¹⁸Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

¹⁹Better it is to be of a lowly spirit with the poor, than to divide the spoil with the proud.

²⁰He that giveth heed unto the word shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.

²¹The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.

²²Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the correction of fools is their folly.

²³The heart of the wise instructeth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.
