Proverbs 16:18

Proverbs Of Solomon

¹⁷ The highway of the upright is to depart from evil;
He who watches his way preserves his life.
¹⁸ Pride goes before destruction,
And a haughty spirit before stumbling.
¹⁹ It is better to be humble in spirit with the lowly
Than to divide the spoil with the proud.
