³⁴ Surely he mocks the mockers,
    but he gives grace to the humble.

² When pride comes, then comes shame,
    but with humility comes wisdom.

⁹ Better is he who is little known, and has a servant,
    than he who honors himself, and lacks bread.

⁷ There are some who pretend to be rich, yet have nothing.
    There are some who pretend to be poor, yet have great wealth.

¹⁰ Pride only breeds quarrels,
    but wisdom is with people who take advice.

²⁵ Yahweh will uproot the house of the proud,
    but he will keep the widow’s borders intact.

³³ The fear of Yahweh teaches wisdom.
    Before honor is humility.

⁵ Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to Yahweh:
    they shall certainly not be unpunished.

¹⁸ Pride goes before destruction,
    and an arrogant spirit before a fall.
¹⁹ It is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor,
    than to divide the plunder with the proud.
