American Standard Version

Proverbs 16:19-22 American Standard Version (ASV)

19. Better it is to be of a lowly spirit with the poor, Than to divide the spoil with the proud.

20. He that giveth heed unto the word shall find good; And whoso trusteth in Jehovah, happy is he.

21. The wise in heart shall be called prudent; And the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.

22. Understanding is a well-spring of life unto him that hath it; But the correction of fools is their folly.
