Proverbs 16:16-18

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁶ How much better to acquire wisdom rather than gold,
and to acquire understanding is more desirable than silver.
¹⁷ The highway followed by upright people turns away from evil.
The person who guards his way preserves his life.
¹⁸ Pride goes before destruction,
and a haughty spirit precedes a fall.
