American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
The highway of the upright is to depart from evil:He that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
Pride goeth before destruction,And a haughty spirit before a fall.
Better it is to be of a lowly spirit with the {Or, meek}poor,Than to divide the spoil with the proud.
He that {Or, handleth a matter wisely}giveth heed unto the word shall find good;And whoso trusteth in Jehovah, happy is he.
The wise in heart shall be called prudent;And the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.
Understanding is a well-spring of life unto him that hath it;But the correction of fools is their folly.
The heart of the wise instructeth his mouth,And addeth learning to his lips.
Pleasant words are as a honeycomb,Sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
