Proverbs 16:16-18

World English Bible

¹⁶ How much better it is to get wisdom than gold!
    Yes, to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.
¹⁷ The highway of the upright is to depart from evil.
    He who keeps his way preserves his soul.
¹⁸ Pride goes before destruction,
    and an arrogant spirit before a fall.
