2  ^cWhen pride comes, then comes disgrace,

but with ^dthe humble is wisdom.

10  ^fBy insolence comes nothing but strife,

but with those who take advice is wisdom.

33  ^jThe fear of the Lord is instruction in wisdom,

and ^khumility comes before honor.

5  Everyone who is arrogant in heart is ^ran abomination to the Lord;

^sbe assured, he will not go unpunished.

19  ⁿIt is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor

than to ^odivide the spoil with the proud.

4  ^cHaughty eyes and a proud heart,

^dthe lamp¹ of the wicked, are sin.

29  A wicked man puts on a bold face,

but the upright ^lgives thought to¹ his ways.

27  It is ^qnot good to eat much honey,

nor is it glorious to ^rseek one’s own glory.¹

2  Let ^zanother praise you, and not your own mouth;

a stranger, and not your own lips.

21  ^wThe crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold,

and a man is tested by his praise.

1  ^zHe who is often reproved, yet stiffens his neck,

will suddenly be ^abroken ^bbeyond healing.

23  ^eOne’s pride will bring him low,

^fbut he who is lowly in spirit will obtain honor.

11  There are those¹ who ^ecurse their fathers

and do not bless their mothers.

12  There are those who are ^fclean in their own eyes

but are not washed of their filth.

13  There are those—how ^glofty are their eyes,

how high their eyelids lift!

14  There are those whose teeth are ^hswords,

whose ⁱfangs are knives,

to ^jdevour the poor from off the earth,

the needy from among mankind.
