9Even one that is slack in his work is brother to him that is a destroyer.
10The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is set up on high.
11The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as a high wall in his own conceit.
12Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty, and before honour goeth humility.
13He that giveth answer before he heareth, it is folly and confusion unto him.
14The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a broken spirit who can bear?
15The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
16A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.
