Proverbs 16:18-22

Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before stumbling.

It is better to be humble in spirit with the needy Than to divide the spoils with the proud.

One who pays attention to the word will find good, And blessed is one who trusts in the Lord.

The wise in heart will be called understanding, And sweetness of speech increases persuasiveness.

Understanding is a fountain of life to those who have it, But the discipline of fools is foolishness.
