Proverbs 16:18KJV
Protestant Bible · KJV · Verse 18 of 33
"Pride before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall."
In context
16How much better to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!
17The highway of the upright to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
18Pride before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
19Better of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
20He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy he.
