Proverbs 16:18-22 Good News Bible Anglicised (GNBDC)

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.

21. A wise, mature person is known for his understanding. The more pleasant his words, the more persuasive he is.

22. Wisdom is a fountain of life to the wise, but trying to educate stupid people is a waste of time.
