Proverbs 16:19-21

Lexham English Bible

¹⁹ Better a lowly spirit with the poor
    than dividing the spoil with the proud.
²⁰ He who is attentive to a matter will find goodness,
    and he who trusts in Yahweh, his own happiness.
²¹ The wise of heart^[a] is called perceptive,
    but he who is pleasant of lips will increase persuasiveness.
