SEV Biblia, Chapter 16:19
ΒΆ Mejor es humillar el espíritu con los humildes, que partir despojos con los soberbios.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 19. Better [it is to be] of an humble spirit with the lowly , etc.] The followers of the meek and lowly Jesus, whose spirits are humbled under a sense of sin; have mean thoughts of themselves and their own righteousness, and submit to the righteousness of the Son of God, and wholly trust in him for salvation; and ascribe all they have and are to the free grace of God; humble themselves under the mighty hand of God; are resigned to his will, and patiently bear all afflictions without murmuring, and think better of others than themselves: these are not in so much danger of falling as the proud and haughty, and are more grateful to men, and acceptable to God; with these he vouchsafes to dwell; to these he gives more grace, and they shall inherit the earth. Wherefore it is better to be of such a spirit, and be ranked among and keep company with the meek and lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud ; the spoils of the poor with proud oppressors; or spoils gotten in war with proud and ambitious princes; or the spoils of kingdoms and states with antichrist, divided by him among his proud followers: it is better to be the followers of Christ, and have but little, than to be his, and have ever so much.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 19 - Humility, though it exposes to contempt in the world, is much bette than high-spiritedness, which makes God an enemy. He that understand God's word shall find good.
