Proverbs 18:8-13
-
8 The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
-
9 He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.
-
10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
-
11 The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit.
-
12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility.
-
13 He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.
