Proverbs

⁶A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for stripes. ⁷A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul. ⁸The words of a whisperer are as dainty, morsels, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly. ⁹He also that is slack in his work is brother to him that is a destroyer. ¹⁰The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. ¹¹The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own imagination. ¹²Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour goeth humility.
