The wise inherit honor, but he holds fools up to public contempt.

A generous woman gains honor, and ruthless men seize wealth.

The fear of the Lord provides wise instruction, and before honor comes humility.

Before destruction the heart of a person is proud, but humility comes before honor.

It is an honor for a person to cease from strife, but every fool quarrels.

It is not good to eat too much honey, nor is it honorable for people to seek their own glory.

Like tying a stone in a sling, so is giving honor to a fool.

A person’s pride will bring him low, but one who has a lowly spirit will gain honor.

Like snow in summer or rain in harvest, so honor is not fitting for a fool.
