Proverbs 16:18-27 NIRV

Proverbs 16:18-27

If you are proud, you will be destroyed.

If you are proud, you will fall.

Suppose you are lowly in spirit along with those who are treated badly.

That’s better than sharing stolen goods with those who are proud.

If anyone pays attention to what they’re taught, they will succeed.

Blessed is the person who trusts in the Lord.

Wise hearts are known for understanding what is right.

Kind words make people want to learn more.

Understanding is like a fountain of life to those who have it.

But foolish people are punished for the foolish things they do.

The hearts of wise people guide their mouths.

Their words make people want to learn more.

Kind words are like honey.

They are sweet to the spirit and bring healing to the body.

There is a way that appears to be right.

But in the end it leads to death.

The hunger of workers makes them work.

Their hunger drives them on.

A worthless person plans to do evil things.

Their words are like a burning fire.
