Proverbs 16:18-25

Pride goeth before destruction,
And an haughty spirit before a fall.
Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly,
Than to divide the spoil with the proud.
He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good:
And whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.
The wise in heart shall be called prudent:
And the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.
Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it:
But the instruction of fools is folly.
The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth,
And addeth learning to his lips.
Pleasant words are as an honeycomb,
Sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
There is a way that seemeth right unto a man,
But the end thereof are the ways of death.
