   18: Pride [goeth] before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
   19: Better is it to be of a humble spirit with the meek, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
   20: He that giveth heed to the word shall find good; and whoso confideth in Jehovah, happy is he.
   21: The wise in heart is called intelligent, and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.
   22: Wisdom is a fountain of life for him that hath it; but the instruction of fools is folly.
