Proverbs 16:15-20 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

15. In the cheerfulness of the king's countenance is life: and his clemency is like the latter rain.

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.
