Proverbs 16:16-24

16How much betterH2896 is it to getH7069 wisdomH2451 than goldH2742! and to getH7069 understandingH998 rather to be chosenH977 than silverH3701!

17The highwayH4546 of the uprightH3477 is to departH5493 from evilH7451: he that keepethH5341 his wayH1870 preservethH8104 his soulH5315.

18PrideH1347 goeth beforeH6440 destructionH7667, and an haughtyH1363 spiritH7307 beforeH6440 a fallH3783.

19BetterH2896 it is to be of an humbleH8217 spiritH7307 with the lowlyH6041H6035, than to divideH2505 the spoilH7998 with the proudH1343.

20He that handleth a matterH1697 wiselyH7919 shall findH4672 goodH2896: and whoso trustethH982 in YhwhH3068, happyH835 is he.1

21The wiseH2450 in heartH3820 shall be calledH7121 prudentH995: and the sweetnessH4986 of the lipsH8193 increasethH3254 learningH3948.

22UnderstandingH7922 is a wellspringH4726 of lifeH2416 unto him that hathH1167 it: but the instructionH4148 of foolsH191 is follyH200.

23The heartH3820 of the wiseH2450 teachethH7919 his mouthH6310, and addethH3254 learningH3948 to his lipsH8193.2

24PleasantH5278 wordsH561 are as an honeycombH1706H6688, sweetH4966 to the soulH5315, and healthH4832 to the bonesH6106.
