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.
20 The wise in any matter findeth good, And whoso is trusting in Jehovah, O his happiness.
