19 It is better to be humble in spirit with the lowly Than to divide the spoil with the proud .

20 He who gives attention to the word will find good , And blessed is he who trusts in the Lord .

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.
