Proverbs 16:16-20 NKJV [16] How much better to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver. [17] The highway of the upright is to depart from evil; He who keeps his way preserves his soul. [18] Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall. [19] Better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, Than to divide the spoil with the proud. [20] He who heeds the word wisely will find good, And whoever trusts in the LORD, happy is he. Proud people take little account of their weaknesses and do not anticipate stumbling blocks. They think they are above the frailties of common people. In this state of mind they are easily tripped up. Ironically, proud people seldom realize that pride is their problem, although everyone around them is well aware of it. Ask someone you trust whether self-satisfaction has blinded you to warning signs. He or she may help you avoid a fall.
