Proverbs 16:19-21
The Voice
19 It is better to be humble and live among the poor,
than to divide up stolen property with the proud.
20 Those devoted to instruction will prosper in goodness;
those who trust in the Eternal will experience His favor.
21 The wise at heart have a reputation for understanding;
pleasant words make the lips more persuasive.
Proverbs 16:19-21
New International Version
19 Better to be lowly in spirit along with the oppressed
than to share plunder with the proud.
