8 The words of a gossip are like choice morsels;they go down to the inmost parts.
9 One who is slack in his workis brother to one who destroys.
10 The name of the Lord is a fortified tower;the righteous run to it and are safe.
11 The wealth of the rich is their fortified city;they imagine it a wall too high to scale.
12 Before a downfall the heart is haughty,but humility comes before honour.
13 To answer before listening –that is folly and shame.
14 The human spirit can endure in times of illness,but a crushed spirit who can bear?
