Mishle 16:16-18

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁶ How much better is it to acquire chochmah than zahav, and acquiring binah (understanding) a better choice than kesef!

¹⁷ The mesilat yesharim (highway of the upright) is to depart from rah; he that guards his derech is shomer over his nefesh (soul).

¹⁸ Ga’on (pride) goeth before shever (destruction), and a ruach of haughtiness before a fall.
