8The words of a gossip are like dainty morsels: they go down into a person’s innermost parts. 9One who is slack in his work is brother to him who is a master of destruction.
10The LORD’s name is a strong tower: the righteous run to him, and are safe.
After · Proverbs 18:11–12
11The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, like an unscalable wall in his own imagination. 12Before destruction the heart of man is proud, but before honor is humility.
