Proverbs 16:16-24

The Primacy of Wisdom and Humility

Proverbs 16:16-24
16
To get wisdom--how much better than gold, And to get understanding to be chosen than silver!
17
A highway of the upright is , `Turn from evil,' Whoso is preserving his soul is watching his way.
18
Before destruction is pride, And before stumbling--a haughty spirit.'
19
Better is humility of spirit with the poor, Than to apportion spoil with the proud.
20
The wise in any matter findeth good, And whoso is trusting in Jehovah, O his happiness.
21
To the wise in heart is called, `Intelligent,' And sweetness of lips increaseth learning.
22
A fountain of life is understanding to its possessors, The instruction of fools is folly.
23
The heart of the wise causeth his mouth to act wisely, And by his lips he increaseth learning,
24
Sayings of pleasantness are a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul, and healing to the bone.
