Proverbs 16:16-18

The Voice

¹⁶ How much better it is to receive wisdom than the riches of gold
    and to gain understanding over some silver prize!
¹⁷ The highway of the just bypasses evil;
    those who watch where they’re going protect their lives from sin.
¹⁸ Pride precedes destruction;
    an arrogant spirit gives way to a nasty fall.
