Proverbs 16:17-19
EasyEnglish Bible
17 Honest people follow a straight road that keeps them away from evil things.
If you want to keep your life safe, watch where you are going.
18 If you are proud, you will soon come to an end.
Anyone who boasts will soon fall down.
19 You may be humble and have poor people as your friends.
But that is better than if you have proud friends
who give you things that they have robbed from others.
Proverbs 16:17-19
New International Version
17 The highway of the upright avoids evil;
those who guard their ways preserve their lives.(A)
19 Better to be lowly in spirit along with the oppressed
than to share plunder with the proud.
