Proverbs 16:17-19

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁷The highway of the upright turns aside from evil; he who guards his way preserves his life.

¹⁸Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

¹⁹Better it is to be of a humble spirit with the meek and poor than to divide the spoil with the proud.
