³³ The reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord brings instruction in Wisdom, and humility comes before honor.

¹² Haughtiness comes before disaster, but humility before honor.

⁴ The reward of humility and the reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord is riches and honor and life.

²³ A man’s pride will bring him low, but he who is of a humble spirit will obtain honor.^(A)
