6 The lips of a fool will bring strife, and his mouth calls out for a flogging.
7 The mouth of a fool is ruin to him, and his lips are a snare to his soul.
8 The words of a whisper are like delicious morsels, and they themselves go down to inner parts of the body.
9 Even he who is slack in his work, he is brother to a master of destruction.
10 A tower of strength is the name of Yahweh; into him the righteous will run and be safe.
11 The wealth of the rich is his strong city, and like a wall, it is high in his imagination.
12 In the presence of destruction, the heart of a man will be haughty, but in the presence of honor, humble.
