Proverbs 16:17 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 16:17

Compare all

15 In the light of the king’s face is life,
And his favor is like a ^acloud of the latter rain.

16 ^aHow much better to get wisdom than gold!
And to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.

17 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil;
He who keeps his way preserves his soul.

18 Pride goes before destruction,
And a haughty spirit before¹ a fall.

19 Better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly,
Than to divide the¹ spoil with the proud.
