4 Haughty eyes and a proud heart—The (A)fallow ground of the wicked—are sin.
24 “Arrogant,” “Haughty,” “(A)Scoffer,” are his names,Who acts with (B)arrogant fury.
4 The reward of humility—the [a]fear of Yahweh—Is riches, glory, and life.
27 To eat too much honey is not good,Nor is it glory to (A)search out [a]one’s own glory.
16 The sluggard is (A)wiser in his own eyesThan seven men who can respond with a discreet answer.
2 Let a (A)stranger praise you, and not your own mouth;A foreigner, and not your own lips.
21 The (A)refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold,And each (B)is tested by the mouth that praises him.
23 A man’s (A)lofty pride will bring him low,But a (B)lowly spirit will take hold of glory.
