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.
16 aA man’s gift makes room for him,
And brings him before great men.
