Proverbs 16:18

Proverbs Of Solomon

¹⁷ The highway of the upright, is to avoid evil, He preserveth his soul, who guardeth his way. ¹⁸ Before grievous injury, pride! and, before a fall, haughtiness of spirit! ¹⁹ Better is lowliness of spirit, with the patient, than a portion of spoil, with the proud.
