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.

Surely, to chastise the righteous, is not good, to smite the noble-minded for equity.

“How long, O naive ones, will you love being simple-minded?
And scoffers delight themselves in scoffing
And fools hate knowledge?

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

She stands in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.

For she sits at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,

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.

Then you will find favor and high regard
in the sight of God and man.

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.

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.
