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

¹⁴ A man’s spirit will sustain him in sickness,
    but a crushed spirit, who can bear?

³ The foolishness of man subverts his way;
    his heart rages against Yahweh.

²⁰ Listen to counsel and receive instruction,
    that you may be wise in your latter end.

⁵ Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water,
    but a man of understanding will draw it out.

²⁷ The spirit of man is Yahweh’s lamp,
    searching all his innermost parts.

¹¹ He who loves purity of heart and speaks gracefully
    is the king’s friend.
