³⁴ Although he scorns the scornful,
he gives grace to the humble.

¹⁶ These are six things the Lord hates,
seven things that really disgust him:
¹⁷ arrogant eyes, a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
¹⁸ a heart that devises wicked plans,
feet that run quickly to do evil,
¹⁹ a false witness who breathes lies,
and a person who spreads conflict between brothers.

² When arrogance comes, shame follows,
but with humility comes wisdom.

⁹ Better to be underestimated and have a servant
than to pretend to be wealthy and lack bread.

⁷ One person pretends to be rich but has nothing.
Another pretends to be poor but has great wealth.

¹⁰ Insolence produces only strife,
but wisdom resides with those who take advice.

²⁵ The Lord tears down the house of the arrogant,
but he maintains the property line of a widow.

³³ The fear of the Lord gives discipline and wisdom,
and humility comes before honor.

⁵ Anyone with an arrogant attitude is disgusting to the Lord.
Be sure of this: That person will not go unpunished.

¹⁸ Pride goes before destruction,
and a haughty spirit precedes a fall.
¹⁹ Better to share a humble spirit with the oppressed
    than to share stolen goods with the haughty.
