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?
15 The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
