Proverbs 16:18-20

New International Reader's Version

¹⁸If you are proud, you will be destroyed.
If you are proud, you will fall.

¹⁹Suppose you are lowly in spirit along with those who are treated badly.
That’s better than sharing stolen goods with those who are proud.

²⁰If anyone pays attention to what they’re taught, they will succeed.
Blessed is the person who trusts in the Lord.
