Proverbs 16:17-19

New International Reader's Version

¹⁷ The path of honest people takes them away from evil.
    Those who guard their ways guard their lives.

¹⁸ If you are proud, you will be destroyed.
    If you are proud, you will fall.

¹⁹ Suppose you are lowly in spirit along with those who are treated badly.
    That’s better than sharing stolen goods with those who are proud.
