Proverbs 16:16-18

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁶ How much ^(A)better it is to get wisdom than gold!
And to get understanding is to be chosen above silver.
¹⁷ The ^(B)highway of the upright is to depart from evil;
He who watches his way preserves his ^[a]life.
^18 (C)Pride goes before destruction,
And a haughty spirit before stumbling.
