Proverbs 16:19-21

Good News Translation

¹⁹ It is better to be humble and stay poor than to be one of the arrogant and get a share of their loot.

²⁰ Pay attention to what you are taught, and you will be successful; trust in the Lord and you will be happy.

²¹ A wise, mature person is known for his understanding. The more pleasant his words, the more persuasive he is.
