Proverbs 16:16-24
16How much better to acquire wisdom than gold! To gain understanding is more desirable than silver.
17The highway of the upright leads away from evil;he who guards his way protects his life.
18Pride goes before destruction,and a haughty spirit before a fall.
19It is better to be lowly in spirit among the humblethan to divide the spoil with the proud.
21The wise in heart are called discerning,and pleasant speech promotes instruction.
22Understanding is a fountain of life to its possessor,but the discipline of fools is folly.
23The heart of the wise man instructs his mouthand adds persuasiveness to his lips.
24Pleasant words are a honeycomb,sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
