Proverbs 16:16-18

American Standard Version

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 a haughty spirit before a fall.
