Proverbs 16:15-22
-
15 In the light of the king's countenance is life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain.
-
16 How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!
-
17 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
-
18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
-
19 Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
-
20 He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.
-
21 The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.
-
22 Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly.
