5 To be partial to the faces of the wicked is not good,nor to deprive the innocent of justice.
6 A fool’s lips come into strife,and his mouth invites beatings.
7 A fool’s mouth is his destruction,and his lips are a snare to his soul.
8 The words of a gossip are like dainty morsels:they go down into a person’s innermost parts.
9 One who is slack in his workis brother to him who is a master of destruction.
10 the Lord’s name is a strong tower:the righteous run to him, and are safe.
11 The rich man’s wealth is his strong city,like an unscalable wall in his own imagination.
