Proverbs 18:9-14
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 18
9He also who is lax in his work Is a brother to him who destroys. 10The name of the Lord is a strong tower; The righteous runs into it and is safe. 11A rich person’s wealth is his strong city, And like a high wall in his own imagination. 12Before destruction the heart of a person is haughty, But humility goes before honor. 13One who gives an answer before he hears, It is foolishness and shame to him. 14The spirit of a person can endure his sickness, But as for a broken spirit, who can endure it?King James Version

Chapter 18
9Whoever is slack in his work is a brother to him who destroys. 10The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe. 11A rich man’s wealth is his strong city, and like a high wall in his imagination. 12Before destruction a man’s heart is haughty, but humility comes before honor. 13If one gives an answer before he hears, it is his folly and shame. 14A man’s spirit will endure sickness, but a crushed spirit who can bear?New International Version
