18 ¹Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

19 ²It is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor than to ³divide the spoil with the proud.

20 Whoever gives thought to the word^a⁴will discover good, and blessed is he ⁵who trusts in the LORD.

21 The wise of heart is called discerning, and sweetness of speech ⁶increases persuasiveness.

22 Good sense is ⁷a fountain of life to him who has it, but the instruction of fools is folly.

23 ⁸The heart of the wise makes his speech judicious and adds persuasiveness to his lips.

24 ⁹Gracious words are like ¹⁰a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and ¹¹health to the body.

25 There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.^b

26 A worker's appetite works for him; his ¹²mouth urges him on.

27 ¹³A worthless man plots evil, and his speech^c is like ¹⁴a scorching fire.

28 ¹⁵A dishonest man spreads strife, and ¹⁶a whisperer ¹⁷separates close friends.

29 A man of violence ¹⁸entices his neighbor and leads him in a way that is not good.

30 Whoever winks his eyes plans^d¹⁹dishonest things; he who ²⁰purses his lips brings evil to pass.

31 ²¹Gray hair is ²²a crown of glory; it ²³is gained in a righteous life.

32 ²⁴Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.

33 ²⁵The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is ²⁶from the LORD.
