Do not claim honor in the presence of the king,
And do not stand in the place of great men;
For it is better that it be said to you, “Come up here,”
Than for you to be placed lower in the presence of the prince,

And he who rules his spirit, than he who captures a city.

But he who is quick-tempered exalts folly.

Is a man who has no control over his spirit.
I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go;
I will counsel you with My eye upon you.
