10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower;the just run to it and are safe.
11 The wealth of the rich is their strong city;they fancy it a high wall.
12 Before disaster the heart is haughty,but before honor is humility.
13 Whoever answers before listening,theirs is folly and shame.
14 One’s spirit supports one when ill,but a broken spirit who can bear?
15 The heart of the intelligent acquires knowledge,and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
16 Gifts clear the way for people,winning access to the great.
