Proverbs 16:16-24

16HowH4100 muchH4100 betterH2896 is it to getH7069 wisdomH2451 thanH2896 goldH2742! yea, to getH7069 understandingH998 is rather to be chosenH977 thanH2896 silverH3701.

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

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

19BetterH2896 it is to be of a lowlyH8217 spiritH7307 with the poorH6041, thanH2896 to divideH2505 the spoilH7998 with the proudH1343.

20He that giveth heed unto the wordH1697 shall findH4672 goodH2896: and whoso trusteth in the LORDH3068, happyH835 is he.

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

22UnderstandingH7922 is a wellspring of lifeH2416 unto him that hath it: but the correctionH4148 of foolsH191 is their follyH200.

23The heartH3820 of the wiseH2450 instructeth his mouthH6310, and addeth learningH3948 to his lipsH8193.

24PleasantH5278 wordsH561 are as an honeycombH6688, sweetH4966 to the soulH5315, and healthH4832 to the bonesH6106.
