Proverbs 16:18-20

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁸ If you are proud, you will soon come to an end.
    Anyone who boasts will soon fall down.
¹⁹ You may be humble and have poor people as your friends.
    But that is better than if you have proud friends
    who give you things that they have robbed from others.
²⁰ If you listen carefully to good teaching, you will do well.
    If you trust in the Lord, you are in a happy place.
