Proverbs 13:10
Only by pride cometh contention: But with the well advised is wisdom.
In context
7 There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: There is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches. 8 The ransom of a man's life are his riches: But the poor heareth not rebuke.
9 The light of the righteous rejoiceth: But the lamp of the wicked shall be put out. 10 Only by pride cometh contention: But with the well advised is wisdom. 11 Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: But he that gathereth by labour shall increase. 12 Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: But when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.
13 Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: But he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.
