Proverbs 16:18-20

Modern English Version

¹⁸ Pride goes before destruction,
    and a haughty spirit before a fall.

¹⁹ Better it is to be of a humble spirit with the lowly
    than to divide the spoil with the proud.

²⁰ He who handles a matter wisely will find good,
    and whoever trusts in the Lord, happy is he.
