Proverbs
Chapters 16:19-25
New International Version Anglicized
19Better to be lowly in spirit along with the oppressedthan to share plunder with the proud.
20Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers,and blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord.
21The wise in heart are called discerning,and gracious words promote instruction.
22Prudence is a fountain of life to the prudent,but folly brings punishment to fools.
23The hearts of the wise make their mouths prudent,and their lips promote instruction.
24Gracious words are a honeycomb,sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
25There is a way that appears to be right,but in the end it leads to death.
