Proverbs 16:17-19

Young's Literal Translation

¹⁷ A highway of the upright [is], `Turn from evil,' Whoso is preserving his soul is watching his way.

¹⁸ Before destruction [is] pride, And before stumbling -- a haughty spirit.'

¹⁹ Better is humility of spirit with the poor, Than to apportion spoil with the proud.
