Proverbs 16:16-24

The Primacy of Wisdom and Humility

Proverbs 16:16-24
16
Get wisdom, because it is better than gold: and purchase prudence, for it is more precious than silver.
17
The path of the just departeth from evils: he that keepeth his soul keepeth his way.
18
Pride goeth before destruction: and the spirit is lifted up before a fall.
19
It is better to be humbled with the meek, than to divide spoils with the proud.
20
The learned in word shall find good things: and he that trusteth in the Lord is blessed.
21
The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and he that is sweet in words, shall attain to greater things.
22
Knowledge is a fountain of life to him that possesseth it: the instruction of fools is foolishness.
23
The heart of the wise shall instruct his mouth: and shall add grace to his lips.
24
Well ordered words are as a honeycomb: sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
