Holy Scripture
Proverbs 16:17
Source: Septuagint
Original
17The paths of life turn aside from evil; And the ways of righteousness are length of life. He that receives instruction shall be in prosperity; And he that regards reproofs shall be made wise. He that keeps his ways, preserves his own soul; And he that loves his life will spare his mouth.

In context
15The son of a king is in the light of life; And they that are in favor with him are as a cloud of latter rain.
16The brood of wisdom is more to be chosen than gold, And the brood of prudence more to be chosen than silver.
— Proverbs 16:17 —
18Pride goes before destruction, And folly before a fall.
19Better is a meek-spirited man with lowliness, Than one who divides spoils with the proud.
