11 The wealth of the rich 'is' the city of his strength, And as a wall set on high in his own imagination.
12 Before destruction the heart of man is high, And before honour 'is' humility.
13 Whoso is answering a matter before he heareth, Folly it is to him and shame.
14 The spirit of a man sustaineth his sickness, And a smitten spirit who doth bear?
15 The heart of the intelligent getteth knowledge, And the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
