- The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
- The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit.
- Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility.
- He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.
- The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?

- The name of the LORD is a strong tower; The righteous runs into it and is safe.
- A rich man's wealth is his strong city, And like a high wall in his own imagination.
- Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, But humility goes before honor.
- He who gives an answer before he hears, It is folly and shame to him.
- The spirit of a man can endure his sickness, But as for a broken spirit who can bear it?
|
- The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
- A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.
- He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him.
- The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty.
- A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.
|
- The mind of the prudent acquires knowledge, And the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
- A man's gift makes room for him And brings him before great men.
- The first to plead his case seems right, Until another comes and examines him.
- The cast lot puts an end to strife And decides between the mighty ones.
- A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city, And contentions are like the bars of a citadel.
