Verse 14 is found in chapter 18 of Proverbs. Work negligence is placed alongside destructive conduct, showing that failing to perform one’s responsibilities can also produce ruin. The name of the Lord appears as a strong tower in contrast to riches as false security. The prudent seek refuge in God, while the proud trust their own perception. The passage also recognizes the strategic value of a gift for opening opportunities.

Wer ein fröhlich Herz hat, der weiß sich in seinem Leiden zu halten; wenn aber der Mut liegt, wer kann's tragen?
El ánimo del hombre soportará su enfermedad: Mas ¿quién soportará al ánimo angustiado?
El espíritu del hombre lo sostiene en su enfermedad, pero ¿quién puede soportar un espíritu quebrantado?
L'esprit de l'homme le soutient dans la maladie; Mais l'esprit abattu, qui le relèvera?
Lo spirito dell’uomo sostiene l’infermità di esso; Ma chi solleverà lo spirito afflitto?
O espírito do homem susterá a sua enfermidade, mas ao espírito abatido, quem o suportará?
人的心靈忍耐疾病; 心靈憂傷,誰能承當呢?
