Proverbs 16:18

In context

16To get wisdom—how much better than gold! And to get understanding is chosen above silver. 17The highway of the upright turns away from evil; whoever guards his way keeps his life. 18Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. 19Better to be lowly in spirit with the humble than to divide spoil with the proud. 20Whoever attends to a word will find good, and happy is the one who trusts in Yahweh.
