Proverbs 16:17-19

International Standard Version

¹⁷ The road of the upright circumvents evil,
    and whoever watches how he lives^[a] preserves his life.

¹⁸ Pride precedes destruction;
    an arrogant spirit appears before a fall.
¹⁹ Better to be humble among the poor,
    than to share what is stolen with the proud.
