Proverbs 16:17-19

The Voice

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.
¹⁹ It is better to be humble and live among the poor,
    than to divide up stolen property with the proud.
