12 ¹Before destruction a man's heart is haughty, but ²humility comes before honor.

13 If one gives an answer ³before he hears, it is his folly and shame.

14 A man's spirit will endure sickness, but ⁴a crushed spirit who can bear?

15 An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.

16 A man's ⁵gift 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 ⁶The 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 ⁷From the fruit of a man's mouth his stomach is satisfied; he is satisfied by the yield of his lips.

21 ⁸Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.

22 He who finds ⁹a wife finds ¹⁰a good thing and ¹¹obtains favor ¹²from the LORD.

23 The poor use entreaties, but ¹³the rich answer roughly.

24 A man of many companions may come to ruin, but ¹⁴there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
