Proverbs 16:18-23 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

18. Pride leads to destruction.A proud attitude brings ruin.

19. It is better not to be proud and to be with those who sufferthan to share stolen property with proud people.

20. Whoever pays attention to what he is taught will succeed.And whoever trusts the Lord will be happy.

21. A wise person is known for his understanding.He wins people to his side with pleasant words.

22. Understanding is like a fountain of water which gives life to those who use it.But foolishness will cause foolish people to be punished.

23. A wise person’s mind tells him what to say.This helps him to teach others better.
