Proverbs 16:20
Compare all
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. 
20 He who heeds the word wisely will find good,
And whoever atrusts in the Lord, happy is he. 
21 The wise in heart will be called prudent,
And sweetness of the lips increases learning.
22 Understanding is a wellspring of life to him who has it.
But the correction of fools is folly.
23 The heart of the wise teaches his mouth,
And adds learning to his lips.
24 Pleasant words are like a honeycomb,
Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.
25 There is a way that seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of adeath. 
26 The person who labors, labors for himself,
For his hungry mouth drives ahim on.
