Proverbs 16:17-19
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
17 The highway of the upright avoids evil;
those who guard their way preserve their lives.
18 Pride goes before destruction
and a haughty spirit before a fall.(A)
19 It is better to be of a lowly spirit among the poor
than to divide the spoil with the proud.
