Proverbs 16:16-20 Good News Bible Anglicised (GNBDC)

16. It is better — much better — to have wisdom and knowledge than gold and silver.

17. Those who are good travel a road that avoids evil; so watch where you are going — it may save your life.

18. Pride leads to destruction, and arrogance to downfall.

19. It is better to be humble and stay poor than to be one of the arrogant and get a share of their loot.

20. Pay attention to what you are taught, and you will be successful; trust in the Lord and you will be happy.
