Proverbs 16

18 Pride comes before destruction,

and an arrogant spirit before a fall.  * 16:18 Pr 11:2; 16:5; 18:12; 29:23; Dn 4:37; Ob 3–4

19 Better to be lowly of spirit with the humble  * 16:19 Alt Hb tradition reads afflicted,* 16:19 Pr 29:23; Is 57:15

than to divide plunder with the proud.  * 16:19 Ex 15:9; Ps 37:16; Pr 1:13–14; 15:16–17; 16:8
