Proverbs 16:16-18

Darby Translation

¹⁶ How much better is it to get wisdom than fine gold, and the getting of intelligence to be preferred to silver!

¹⁷ The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that taketh heed to his way keepeth his soul.

¹⁸ Pride [goeth] before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
