10Adonai ’s name is a strong tower: the upright run to him, and are safe.
11The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, like an unscalable wall in his own imagination.
12Before destruction the heart of man is proud, but before kavod ·weighty glory· is humility.
13He who gives answer before he sh'ma ·hears obeys·, that is folly and shame to him.
14A man’s spirit will sustain him in sickness, but a crushed spirit, who can bear?
15The heart of the discerning gets knowledge. The ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
16A man’s gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men.
17He who pleads his cause first seems right; until another comes and questions him.
18The lot settles disputes, and keeps strong ones apart.
