Proverbs 16:18

Proverbs Of Solomon

¹⁷ The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that taketh heed to his way keepeth his soul. ¹⁸ Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. ¹⁹ Better is it to be of a humble spirit with the meek, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
