Proverbs 16:19-26

¹⁹Better is it to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, Than to share the spoil with the proud.

²⁰He who giveth heed to the word shall find good; And he who trusteth in the LORD, happy is he!

²¹The wise in heart shall be called intelligent, And sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.

²²Understanding is a wellspring of life to him that hath it. And the chastisement of fools is their folly.

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

²⁴Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, Sweet to the taste, and health to the bones.

²⁵There is a way that seemeth right to a man, But the end thereof is the way to death.

²⁶The hunger of the laborer laboreth for him; For his mouth urgeth him on.
