10 The name of the
Lord is a strong
atower;
The righteous run to it and are
1 safe.
11 The rich man’s wealth
is his strong city,
And like a high wall in his own esteem.
12 aBefore destruction the heart of a man is haughty,
And before honor
is humility.
13 He who answers a matter before he hears
it,It
is folly and shame to him.
14 The spirit of a man will sustain him in sickness,
But who can bear a broken spirit?
15 The heart of the prudent acquires knowledge,
And the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
