10 The name of Jehovah is a strong tower; The righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
11 The rich man`s wealth is his strong city, And as a high wall in his own imagination.
12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty; And before honor [goeth] humility.
13 He that giveth answer before he heareth, It is folly and shame unto him.
14 The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; But a broken spirit who can bear?
15 The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; And the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
16 A man`s gift maketh room for him, And bringeth him before great men.
