Proverbs 16:18


← Proverbs 16:17 Proverbs 16:18 (KJV) Proverbs 16:19 →
The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
