To make the simple-minded sharp, and to give the young man knowledge, and serious purpose:

A man will be praised in the measure of his wisdom, but a wrong-minded man will be looked down on.

The hater of authority, searching for wisdom, does not get it; but knowledge comes readily to the open-minded man.

He who is of low position and has a servant, is better than one who has a high opinion of himself and is in need of bread.

Put no high value on your wisdom: let the fear of the Lord be before you, and keep yourself from evil:

Put her in a high place, and you will be lifted up by her; she will give you honour, when you give her your love.

The fear of the Lord is seen in hating evil: pride, a high opinion of oneself, the evil way, and the false tongue, are unpleasing to me.

Seated at the door of her house, in the high places of the town,

My son, go in fear of the Lord and the king: have nothing to do with those who are in high positions:

For their downfall will come suddenly; and who has knowledge of the destruction of those in high positions?

The heaven is high and the earth is deep, and the hearts of kings may not be searched out.

The fear of man is a cause of danger: but whoever puts his faith in the Lord will have a safe place on high.

The lover of fighting is a lover of sin: he who makes high his doorway is looking for destruction.

The property of a man of wealth is his strong town, and it is as a high wall in the thoughts of his heart.

A high look and a heart of pride, *** of the evil-doer is sin.

The man of pride, lifted up in soul, is named high-hearted; he is acting in an outburst of pride.
