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 among princes.
17A righteous man accuses himself at the beginning of his speech, but when he has entered upon the attack, the adversary is reproved.
