Proverbs 16:16-18

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁶ Wield thou wisdom, for it is better than gold; and get thou prudence, for it is preciouser than silver. (Possess thou wisdom, for it is better than gold; and get thou prudence, for it is more precious than silver.)

¹⁷ The path of just men boweth away (from) evils (The path of the righteous turneth away from evil); the keeper of his soul keepeth his way (safe).

¹⁸ Pride goeth before sorrow; and the spirit shall be enhanced before falling (and the spirit shall be raised up before a fall).
