Proverbs 16:17-19

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁷ The highway of the upright avoids evil;
    those who guard their way preserve their lives.
¹⁸ Pride goes before destruction,
    and a haughty spirit before a fall.
¹⁹ It is better to be of a lowly spirit among the poor
    than to divide the spoil with the proud.
