^[b]But he giveth grace unto the lowly.

² When pride cometh, then cometh shame;
But with the lowly is wisdom.

¹⁵ The way of a fool is right in his own eyes;
But he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsel.

¹⁰ By pride cometh only contention;
But with the well-advised is wisdom.

⁵ A fool despiseth his father’s ^[a]correction;
But he that regardeth reproof ^[b]getteth prudence.

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

¹⁹ Better it is to be of a lowly spirit with the ^[a]poor,
Than to divide the spoil with the proud.

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

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

²³ A man’s pride shall bring him low;
But he that is of a lowly spirit shall obtain honor.
