18Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
19Better it is to be of a lowly spirit with the humble, 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 is called a man of discernment; and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.
22Understanding is a fountain of life unto him that hath it; but folly is the chastisement of fools.
23The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.
24Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
25There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
26The hunger of the labouring man laboureth for him; for his mouth compelleth him.
