Proverbs 16:17-19
GOD’S WORD Translation
17 The highway of decent people turns away from evil.
Whoever watches his way preserves his own life.
18 Pride precedes a disaster,
and an arrogant attitude precedes a fall.
19 Better to be humble with lowly people
than to share stolen goods with arrogant people.
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.
