Proverbs 16:16-18

New International Reader's Version

¹⁶ It is much better to get wisdom than gold.
    It is much better to choose understanding than silver.

¹⁷ The path of honest people takes them away from evil.
    Those who guard their ways guard their lives.

¹⁸ If you are proud, you will be destroyed.
    If you are proud, you will fall.
