Proverbs 16:18

Proverbs Of Solomon

¹⁷ The highway of the upright is to separate himself from evil; he that keeps his way preserves his soul. ¹⁸ Pride goes before destruction,
And a haughty spirit before stumbling.
¹⁹ It is better to humble your spirit with the lowly than to divide the spoil with the proud.
