5To be partial to the faces of the wicked is not good, nor to deprive the innocent of justice.
6A fool’s lips come into strife, and his mouth invites beatings.
7A fool’s mouth is his destruction, and his lips are a snare to his soul.
8The words of a gossip are like dainty morsels: they go down into a person’s innermost parts.
9One who is slack in his work is brother to him who is a master of destruction.
10The LORD’s name is a strong tower: the righteous run to him, and are safe.
11The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, like an unscalable wall in his own imagination.
12Before destruction the heart of man is proud, but before honor is humility.
13He who answers before he hears, that is folly and shame to him.
14A man’s spirit will sustain him in sickness, but a crushed spirit, who can bear?
