⁴ Haughtiness of the eyes and pride of heart,
    the lamp of the wicked are sin.

²⁴ The proud, haughty one: “scoffer” is his name;
    he acts with arrogance of pride.

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

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

¹⁶ A lazy person is wiser in his eyes
    than seven who answer discreetly.

² May another praise you and not your own mouth,
    a stranger and not your own lips.

²¹ A crucible is for the silver, and a furnace for the gold,
    but a man is tested by the mouth of him who praises him.

²³ The pride of a person will bring him humiliation,
    and the lowly of spirit will obtain honor.
