In context
16 To acquire wisdom, how much better than gold! and, to get hold of understanding, more choice than silver!
17 The highway of the upright, is to avoid evil, He preserveth his soul, who guardeth his way.
18 Before grievous injury, pride! and, before a fall, haughtiness of spirit!
19 Better is lowliness of spirit, with the patient, than a portion of spoil, with the proud.
20 He that showeth discretion concerning a matter, shall find good, and, he that trusteth in Yahweh, how happy is he!
21 The wise in heart, shall be called intelligent, and, sweetness of lips, increaseth persuasiveness.
22 A well-spring of life, is discretion to its owner, but, the correction of the foolish, is folly.
