⁷ Do not be wise in your own eyes;
    fear Yahweh and retreat from evil.
⁸ There shall be healing for your flesh,^[a]
    and refreshment for your body.

²⁹ A stronghold for the upright is the way of Yahweh,
    but ruin belongs to evildoers.^[a]

⁷ With the death of a wicked person, hope will die,
    and the expectation of the godless perishes.

²² A cheerful heart is good medicine,
    but a downcast spirit will dry out bones.

¹⁰ A tower of strength is the name of Yahweh;
    into him^[a] the righteous will run and be safe.
¹¹ The wealth of the rich is his strong city,^[b]
    and like a wall, it is high in his imagination.

²⁹ The glory of young men is their strength,^[a]
    but the beauty of the aged is gray hair.

²² To a city of warriors, the wise ascends,
    and he will bring down the stronghold—its object of trust.

³ By wisdom a house is built,
    and by understanding it is established.

⁵ The warrior of wisdom is in strength,
    and a man of knowledge is strong in power.

¹⁰ If you faint on the day of adversity,
    little is your strength.
