34  Toward the ^cscorners he ^dis scornful,

^ebut to the humble he gives favor.¹

16  There are ^dsix things that the Lord hates,

^dseven that are an abomination to him:

17  ^ehaughty eyes, ^fa lying tongue,

and ^ghands that shed innocent blood,

18  ^ha heart that devises wicked plans,

ⁱfeet that make haste to run to evil,

19  ^ja false witness who ^kbreathes out lies,

and one who ^asows discord among brothers.

2  ^cWhen pride comes, then comes disgrace,

but with ^dthe humble is wisdom.

9  Better to be lowly and have a servant

than to play the great man and lack bread.

7  ^aOne pretends to be rich,¹ yet has nothing;

^banother pretends to be poor,² yet has great wealth.

10  ^fBy insolence comes nothing but strife,

but with those who take advice is wisdom.

25  The Lord tears down the house of ^qthe proud

but ^rmaintains ^sthe widow’s boundaries.

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.

18  ^mPride goes before destruction,

and a haughty spirit before a fall.

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

than to ^odivide the spoil with the proud.

12  ^mBefore destruction a man’s heart is haughty,

but ⁿhumility comes before honor.

10  ⁿIt is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury,

much less for ^oa slave to rule over princes.

9  ⁿWho can say, “I have made my heart pure;

I am clean from my sin”?

4  ^cHaughty eyes and a proud heart,

^dthe lamp¹ of the wicked, are sin.

24  ^f“Scoffer” is the name of the arrogant, haughty man

who acts with arrogant pride.

4  The reward for humility and fear of the Lord

is ^triches and honor and life.¹

27  It is ^qnot good to eat much honey,

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

16  The sluggard is ^jwiser in his own eyes

ⁿthan seven men who can answer sensibly.

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.

23  ^eOne’s pride will bring him low,

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