10
1The name of the LORD is 2a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and 3is safe.
11
4A rich man's wealth is his strong city, and like a high wall in his imagination.
12
5Before destruction a man's heart is haughty, but 6humility comes before honor.
13
If one gives an answer 7before he hears, it is his folly and shame.
14
A man's spirit will endure sickness, but 8a crushed spirit who can bear?
15
An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
16
A man's 9gift makes room for him and brings him before the great.
17
The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him.
18
10The lot puts an end to quarrels and decides between powerful contenders.
19
A brother offended is more unyielding than a strong city, and quarreling is like the bars of a castle.
20
11From the fruit of a man's mouth his stomach is satisfied; he is satisfied by the yield of his lips.
