16 Mejor es adquirir sabiduría que oro preciado; y adquirir inteligencia vale más que la plata.
17 El camino de los rectos es apartarse del mal: su alma guarda el que guarda su camino.
18 Antes del quebrantamiento [es] la soberbia; y antes de la caída la altivez de espíritu.
19 Mejor es humillar el espíritu con los humildes, que partir despojos con los soberbios.
