16 How much better is it to acquire wisdom than gold! and to acquire understanding is worth more than silver!
17 The highway of the upright is to separate himself from evil; he that keeps his way preserves his soul.
18 Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
19 It is better to humble your spirit with the lowly than to divide the spoil with the proud.
20 He who has understanding in the word shall find good, and blessed is he who trusts in the Lord.
21 The wise in heart is called a man of understanding; and the sweetness of the lips shall increase doctrine.
22 Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that has it, but the instruction of fools is folly.
