Proverbs 16:20 in Context — Proverbs 16

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.

21 O sábio de coração será chamado de prudente; e a doçura dos lábios aumentará a instrução.

22 Manancial de vida é o entendimento, para queles que o possuem; mas a instrução dos tolos é loucura.
