7 A fool’s mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.
8 The words of a talebearer seem smooth, but they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
9 He also that is negligent in his work is brother to him that is the great spendthrift.
10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous shall run into it, and be raised up.
11 The rich man’s wealth is his strong city and as a high wall in his imagination.
12 Before being broken, the heart of man is haughty, and before coming into honour, comes being brought to humility.
13 For him that answers a word before he hears, it is folly and reproach unto him.
