Proverbs 16:16-24

16HowH4100 much betterH2896 is it to get wisdomH2451 than fine goldH2742, and the getting of intelligence to be preferred to silverH3701!

17The highwayH4546 of the uprightH3477 is to departH5493 from evilH7451: he that taketh heedH8104 to his wayH1870 keepeth his soulH5315.

18PrideH1347 [goeth] before destructionH7667, and a haughty spiritH7307 before a fall.

19Better is it to be of a humble spiritH7307 with the meek, than to divideH2505 the spoilH7998 with the proudH1343.

20He that giveth heed to the wordH1697 shall findH4672 goodH2896; and whoso confideth in Jehovah, happy is he.

21The wiseH2450 in heartH3820 is calledH7121 intelligent, and the sweetnessH4986 of the lipsH8193 increaseth learning.

22Wisdom is a fountainH4726 of lifeH2416 for him that hath it; but the instruction of foolsH191 is follyH200.

23The heartH3820 of the wiseH2450 maketh his mouthH6310 intelligent, and upon his lipsH8193 increaseth learning.

24Pleasant wordsH561 are [as] a honeycomb, sweetH4966 to the soulH5315, and health for the bonesH6106.
