17 The highway of the upright avoids evil;the one who guards his way protects his life.
18 Pride comes before destruction,and an arrogant spirit before a fall.
19 Better to be lowly of spirit with the humble than to divide plunder with the proud.
20 The one who understands a matter finds success, and the one who trusts in the Lord will be happy.
21 Anyone with a wise heart is called discerning,and pleasant speech increases learning.
22 Insight is a fountain of life for its possessor,but the discipline of fools is folly.
23 A wise heart instructs its mouthand increases learning with its speech.
