4 Haughty eyes and a proud heart,The (A)lamp of the wicked, is sin.
24 “Proud,” “Haughty,” “(A)Scoffer,” are his names,Who acts with (B)insolent pride.
4 The reward of humility and the [a]fear of the LordAre riches, honor and life.
27 It is not good to eat much honey,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 [a]give a discreet answer.
2 Let (A)another praise you, and not your own mouth;A stranger, and not your own lips.
21 The (A)crucible is for silver and the furnace for gold,And each (B)is tested by the praise accorded him.
23 A man’s (A)pride will bring him low,But a (B)humble spirit will obtain honor.
