Proverbs 16:18-20

New Catholic Bible

¹⁸ Pride goes before disaster,
    and a haughty spirit goes before a fall.
¹⁹ It is better to live humbly among the lowly
    than to share plunder with the proud.
²⁰ The one who pays heed to instruction prospers,
    and blessed^[a] is he who trusts in the Lord.
