16 How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! yea, to get understanding is rather to be chosen than silver.
17 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
19 Better it is to be of a lowly spirit with the poor, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
20 He that giveth heed unto the word shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he.
21 The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.
22 Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the correction of fools is their folly.
