Proverbs 18:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 18:9

7 ^aA fool’s mouth is his destruction,
And his lips are the snare of his ^bsoul.

8 ^aThe words of a¹ talebearer are like tasty trifles,
And they go down into the¹ inmost body.

9 He who is slothful in his work
Is a brother to him who is a great destroyer.

10 The name of the Lord is a strong ^atower;
The righteous run to it and are¹ safe.

11 The rich man’s wealth is his strong city,
And like a high wall in his own esteem.

12 ^aBefore destruction the heart of a man is haughty,
And before honor is humility.
