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

¹³ Righteous lips are the delight of kings.
    They value one who speaks the truth.

²⁸ Even a fool, when he keeps silent, is counted wise.
    When he shuts his lips, he is thought to be discerning.

¹² Before destruction the heart of man is proud,
    but before honor is humility.

¹¹ Even a child makes himself known by his doings,
    whether his work is pure, and whether it is right.

²¹ He who follows after righteousness and kindness
    finds life, righteousness, and honor.

⁴ The result of humility and the fear of Yahweh
    is wealth, honor, and life.

⁶ Don’t exalt yourself in the presence of the king,
    or claim a place among great men;
⁷ for it is better that it be said to you, “Come up here,”
    than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince,
    whom your eyes have seen.

¹³ As the cold of snow in the time of harvest,
    so is a faithful messenger to those who send him;
    for he refreshes the soul of his masters.
