Proverbs 16:18-24 American Standard Version (ASV)

18. Pride goeth before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.

19. Better it is to be of a lowly spirit with the poor, Than to divide the spoil with the proud.

20. He that giveth heed unto the word shall find good; And whoso trusteth in Jehovah, happy is he.

21. The wise in heart shall be called prudent; And the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.

22. Understanding is a well-spring of life unto him that hath it; But the correction of fools is their folly.

23. The heart of the wise instructeth his mouth, And addeth learning to his lips.

24. Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
