10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower.A righteous person runs to it and is safe.
11 A rich person’s wealth is his strong cityand is like a high wall in his imagination.
12 Before destruction a person’s heart is arrogant,but humility comes before honor.
13 Whoever gives an answer before he listens is stupid and shameful.
14 A person’s spirit can endure sickness,but who can bear a broken spirit?
15 The mind of a person who has understanding acquires knowledge.The ears of wise people seek knowledge.
16 A gift opens doors for the one who gives itand brings him into the presence of great people.
