9 Those slack in their workare kin to the destroyer.
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.
