And the ^[a]plowing of the wicked are sin.

²⁴ A proud and haughty man—“Scoffer” is his name;
He acts with arrogant pride.

⁴ By humility and the fear of the Lord
Are riches and honor and life.

²⁷ It is not good to eat much honey;
So ^(A)to seek one’s own glory is not glory.

^2 (A)Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth;
A stranger, and not your own lips.

^21 (A)The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold,
And a man is valued by what others say of him.

^23 (A)A man’s pride will bring him low,
But the humble in spirit will retain honor.
