                                  Chapter 24
                                   The Ego


                                                   a
            Those who tiptoe above others cannot stand firm

            Those who are not still before God will not walk far
                                                     b

                                               c
            Those who glorify themselves will not shine

                                                                 d
            Those who vaunt their self-righteousness will not be distinguished

            Those who praise themselves will have no merit

            Those who boast about themselves will not last

            Followers of God call such things leftover food and unnecessary
            They are despised by everyone

            Thus, those who live in the Spirit of God do not rely on them
                                                            e
