Proverbs 16:18-22 Common English Bible (CEB)

18. Pride comes before disaster,and arrogance before a fall.

19. Better to be humble with the needythan to divide plunder with the proud.

20. Those with insight find prosperity;those who trust the Lord are blessed.

21. The skilled mind is called discerning,and pleasant speech enhances teaching.

22. One who has insight is a fountain of life,but the instruction of the foolish is folly.
