Proverbs 16:16-24
16HowH4100 much betterH2896 is it to get wisdomH2451 than goldH2742!Yea, to get understandingH998 is rather to be chosenH977 than silverH3701.17The highwayH4546 of the uprightH3477 is to departH5493 from evilH7451:He that keepeth his wayH1870 preserveth his soulH5315.18PrideH1347goethbefore destructionH7667,And a haughty spiritH7307 before a fall.19Better it is to be of a lowlyH8217 spiritH7307 with the poorH6041,Than to divideH2505 the spoilH7998 with the proudH1343.20He that giveth heed unto the wordH1697 shall findH4672 goodH2896;And whoso trusteth in Jehovah, happy is he.21The wiseH2450 in heartH3820 shall be calledH7121 prudent;And the sweetnessH4986 of the lipsH8193 increaseth learning.22UnderstandingH7922 is a well-spring of lifeH2416 unto him that hath it;But the correctionH4148 of foolsH191 istheirfollyH200.23The heartH3820 of the wiseH2450 instructeth his mouthH6310,And addeth learning to his lipsH8193.24Pleasant wordsH561 areas a honeycomb,SweetH4966 to the soulH5315, and health to the bonesH6106.
