Proverbs 16:19-21

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁹ It is better to be ^(A)humble in spirit with the lowly
Than to ^(B)divide the spoil with the proud.
²⁰ He who gives attention to the word will ^(C)find good,
And ^(D)blessed is he who trusts in the Lord.
²¹ The ^(E)wise in heart will be called understanding,
And sweetness of ^[a]speech ^(F)increases ^[b]persuasiveness.
