He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.

Verse 26 is found in chapter 28 of Proverbs. Excessive self-confidence generates strife, while whoever trusts in the Lord receives security. Whoever hardens his heart against correction ultimately falls into calamity, but whoever recognizes his need for wisdom receives help. The conclusion returns to the relationship with the poor: giving them attention and justice contrasts with hiding from their need. The chapter joins humility before God with social responsibility.

Wer sich auf sein Herz verläßt, ist ein Narr; wer aber mit Weisheit geht, wird entrinnen.
El que confía en su corazón es necio; Mas el que camina en sabiduría, será salvo.
Quien confía en su propio corazón es necio, pero quien camina con sabiduría será librado.
Celui qui a confiance dans son propre coeur est un insensé, Mais celui qui marche dans la sagesse sera sauvé.
Chi si confida nel suo cuore è stolto; Ma chi cammina in sapienza scamperà
O que confia no seu próprio coração é insensato, mas o que anda em sabedoria, será salvo.
心中自以為是的,就是愚昧人; 憑智慧行事的,必蒙拯救。
