KJV ¹⁶ How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!

WLC ¹⁶ קְֽנֹה־ חָכְמָ֗ה מַה־ טּ֥וֹב מֵחָר֑וּץ וּקְנ֥וֹת בִּ֝ינָ֗ה נִבְחָ֥ר מִכָּֽסֶף׃

KJV ¹⁷ The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.

WLC ¹⁷ מְסִלַּ֣ת יְ֭שָׁרִים ס֣וּר מֵרָ֑ע שֹׁמֵ֥ר נַ֝פְשׁ֗וֹ נֹצֵ֥ר דַּרְכּֽוֹ׃

KJV ¹⁸ Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

WLC ¹⁸ לִפְנֵי־ שֶׁ֥בֶר גָּא֑וֹן וְלִפְנֵ֥י כִ֝שָּׁל֗וֹן גֹּ֣בַהּ רֽוּחַ׃

KJV ¹⁹ Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.

WLC ¹⁹ ט֣וֹב שְׁפַל־ ר֭וּחַ אֶת־ מֵֽחַלֵּ֥ק שָׁ֝לָ֗ל אֶת־ גֵּאִֽים׃

KJV ²⁰ He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.

WLC ²⁰ מַשְׂכִּ֣יל עַל־ דָּ֭בָר יִמְצָא־ ט֑וֹב וּבוֹטֵ֖חַ בַּיהוָ֣ה אַשְׁרָֽיו׃

KJV ²¹ The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.

WLC ²¹ לַחֲכַם־ לֵ֭ב יִקָּרֵ֣א נָב֑וֹן וּמֶ֥תֶק שְׂ֝פָתַ֗יִם יֹסִ֥יף לֶֽקַח׃

KJV ²² Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly.

WLC ²² מְק֣וֹר חַ֭יִּים שֵׂ֣כֶל בְּעָלָ֑יו וּמוּסַ֖ר אֱוִלִ֣ים אִוֶּֽלֶת׃
