“Prize wisdom [and exalt her], and she will exalt you;
She will honor you if you embrace her.

By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted,
But by the mouth of the wicked it is torn down.

He who is slow to anger has great understanding,
But he who is quick-tempered exalts folly.

Righteousness exalts a nation,
But sin is a disgrace to any people.

Wisdom is too exalted for a fool,
He does not open his mouth in the gate.

The fear of man brings a snare,
But he who trusts in the Lord will be exalted.

If you have been foolish in exalting yourself
Or if you have plotted evil, put your hand on your mouth.

He who loves transgression loves strife: and he who exalts his gate seeks destruction.

Do not exalt yourself in the presence of the king, or claim a place among great men;

The wise shall inherit glory, and the foolish exalt dishonor.

The name of Jehovah a tower of strength: into it the just one shall run and be exalted.
