9. He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.

10. The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.

11. The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as a high wall in his own conceit.

12. Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honor is humility.

13. He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame to him.

14. The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?
