- The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.
- The wealth of the rich is their fortified city; they imagine it an unscalable wall.
- Before his downfall a man's heart is proud, but humility comes before honor.
- He who answers before listening-- that is his folly and his shame.
- A man's spirit sustains him in sickness, but a crushed spirit who can bear?
|
- The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge; the ears of the wise seek it out.
- A gift opens the way for the giver and ushers him into the presence of the great.
- The first to present his case seems right, till another comes forward and questions him.
- Casting the lot settles disputes and keeps strong opponents apart.
- An offended brother is more unyielding than a fortified city, and disputes are like the barred gates of a citadel.
