Proverbs 16:18

Proverbs Of Solomon

¹⁷ The path of the righteous escheweth evil; and whoso looketh well to his ways, keepeth his own soul. ¹⁸ Pride goeth before destruction; and after a proud stomach there followeth a fall. ¹⁹ Better it is to be of humble mind with the lowly, than to divide the spoils with the proud.
