³³ Fear of Yahweh is the instruction of the wise,
    and before honor comes humility.

¹³ The delight of kings are the lips of righteousness,
    and he who speaks what is upright he will love.

²⁸ Even a fool who keeps silent shall be considered wise;^[a]
    he who closes his lips is intelligent.

¹² In the presence of destruction, the heart^[a] of a man will be haughty,
    but in the presence of honor, humble.

¹¹ Even by his acts, a young man^[a] will make himself known,
    whether his acts are pure and upright.

²¹ He who pursues righteousness and kindness
    will find life, righteousness, and honor.

⁴ The reward of humility is the fear of Yahweh—
    wealth and honor and life.

⁶ Do not promote yourself before the king,
    and in the place of the great ones do not stand.
⁷ For it is better that he say to you, “Ascend here,”
    than he humble you before a noble.
What your eyes have seen,

¹³ Like the cold of snow on a day^[a] of harvest
    is a faithful messenger to those who send him,
    and the soul^[b] of his master is refreshed.^[c]

²⁷ To eat much honey is not good,
    nor is seeking one’s honor^[a] honorable.
