Humility

¹⁷ My child, be humble in everything you do, and people will appreciate it more than gifts.^{[a] 18 (A)}The greater you become, the more humble you should be; then the Lord will be pleased with you.^[b]

²⁰ The Lord's power is great, and he is honored by those who are humble.

²⁸ There is no cure for the troubles that arrogant people have; wickedness has taken deep root in them. ²⁹ Intelligent people will learn from proverbs and parables. They listen well because they want to learn.
