19 Better it is to have a gentle spirit with the poor, than to take part in the rewards of war with men of pride.

20 He who gives attention to the law of right will get good; and whoever puts his faith in the Lord is happy.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 16:19-20

Commentary on Proverbs 16:19-20

(Read Proverbs 16:19-20)

Humility, though it exposes to contempt in the world, is much better than high-spiritedness, which makes God an enemy. He that understands God's word shall find good.
