16 Obter sabedoria é tão melhor do que o ouro! E obter sabedoria é mais excelente do que a prata.
17 A estrada dos corretos se afasta do mal; e guarda sua alma quem vigia seu caminho.
18 Antes da destruição vem a arrogância, e antes da queda vem a soberba de espírito.
19 É melhor ser humilde de espírito com os mansos, do que repartir despojos com os arrogantes.
20 Aquele que pensa prudentemente na palavra encontrará o bem; e quem confia no SENHOR é bem-aventurado.
