5It is not good to respect the person of the wicked, so as to turn aside the righteous in judgment.
6A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.
7A fool's mouth is his ruin, and his lips are the snare of his soul.
8The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
9Even one that is slack in his work is brother to him that is a destroyer.
10The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is set up on high.
11The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as a high wall in his own conceit.
12Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty, and before honour goeth humility.
