Proverbs 18:10
Compare all
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. 
13 He who answers a matter before he hears it,
It is folly and shame to him.
