10The name of the Lord is of great strength; and the righteous running to it are exalted.
11The wealth of a rich man is a strong city; and its glory casts a broad shadow.
12Before ruin a man's heart is exalted, and before honour it is humble.
13Whoso answers a word before he hears a cause, it is folly and reproach to him.
14A wise servant calms a man's anger; but who can endure a faint-hearted man?
15The heart of the sensible man purchases discretion; and the ears of the wise seek understanding.
16A man's gift enlarges him, and seats him amongst princes.
