Verse 27 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.
