Proverbs 16:16-24

The Primacy of Wisdom and Humility

Proverbs 16:16-24
16
Howe much better is it to get wisedome then golde? and to get vnderstanding, is more to be desired then siluer.
17
The pathe of the righteous is to decline from euil, and hee keepeth his soule, that keepeth his way.
18
Pride goeth before destruction, and an high minde before the fall.
19
Better it is to be of humble minde with the lowly, then to deuide the spoyles with the proude.
20
He that is wise in his busines, shall finde good: and he that trusteth in the Lord, he is blessed.
21
The wise in heart shall bee called prudent: and the sweetenesse of the lippes shall increase doctrine.
22
Vnderstading is welspring of life vnto them that haue it: and the instruction of fooles is folly.
23
The heart of the wise guideth his mouth wisely, and addeth doctrine to his lippes.
24
Faire wordes are as an hony combe, sweetenesse to the soule, and health to the bones.
