Proverbs 16:17-19
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
17 The highway of the upright turns aside from evil;
he who guards his way preserves his life.
18 Pride goes before destruction,
and a haughty spirit before a fall.
19 It is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor
than to divide the spoil with the proud.
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.
