15 In the light of a king's face 'is' life, And his good-will 'is' as a cloud of the latter rain.
16 To get wisdom -- how much better than gold, And to get understanding to be chosen than silver!
17 A highway of the upright 'is', 'Turn from evil,' Whoso is preserving his soul is watching his way.
18 Before destruction 'is' pride, And before stumbling -- a haughty spirit.'
19 Better is humility of spirit with the poor, Than to apportion spoil with the proud.
