Proverbs

¹⁷The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul. 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.
