15 In the light of a king's face is life, And his good-will is as a cloud of the latter rain.
16 To get wisdom--how much better than gold, And to get understanding to be chosen than silver!
17 A highway of the upright is, `Turn from evil,' Whoso is preserving his soul is watching his way.
18 Before destruction is pride, And before stumbling--a haughty spirit.'
19 Better is humility of spirit with the poor, Than to apportion spoil with the proud.
20 The wise in any matter findeth good, And whoso is trusting in Jehovah, O his happiness.
21 To the wise in heart is called, `Intelligent,' And sweetness of lips increaseth learning.
