Proverbs 18:6-11
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 18
6
A fool’s lips bring strife,
And his mouth invites beatings.
7
A fool’s mouth is his ruin,
And his lips are the snare of his soul.
8
The words of a gossiper are like dainty morsels,
And they go down into the innermost parts of the body.
9
He also who is lax in his work
Is a brother to him who destroys.
10
The name of the
Lord
is a strong tower;
The righteous runs into it and is safe.
11
A rich person’s wealth is his strong city,
And like a high wall in his own imagination.
King James Version
