Mishle 16:17-19

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁷The mesilat yesharim (highway of the upright) is to depart from rah; he that guards his derech is shomer over his nefesh (soul).

¹⁸Ga’on (pride) goeth before shever (destruction), and a ruach of haughtiness before a fall.

¹⁹Better it is to be of a humble ruach among the anayim, than to divide the plunder with the proud.

Proverbs 16:17-19

New International Version

¹⁷The highway of the upright avoids evil;
those who guard their ways preserve their lives.^(A)

¹⁸Pride^(B) goes before destruction,
a haughty spirit^(C) before a fall.^(D)

¹⁹Better to be lowly in spirit along with the oppressed
than to share plunder with the proud.
