³³ The fear of Jehovah is the instruction of wisdom;
And before honor goeth humility.

¹³ Righteous lips are the delight of kings;
And they love him that speaketh right.

²⁸ Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise;
^[a]When he shutteth his lips, he is esteemed as prudent.

¹² Before destruction the heart of man is haughty;
And before honor goeth humility.

¹¹ Even a child maketh himself known by his doings,
Whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.

²¹ He that followeth after righteousness and kindness
Findeth life, righteousness, and honor.

⁴ The reward of humility and the fear of Jehovah
Is riches, and honor, and life.

^6 [a]Put not thyself forward in the presence of the king,
And stand not in the place of great men:
⁷ For better is it that it be said unto thee, Come up hither,
Than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince,
Whom thine eyes have seen.

¹³ As the cold of snow in the time of harvest,
So is a faithful messenger to them that send him;
For he refresheth the soul of his masters.

²⁷ It is not good to eat much honey;
^[a]So for men to search out their own glory is grievous.
