6The lips of a fool enter into strife, And his mouth calleth for blows.
7A fool's mouth is his destruction, And his lips are a snare for his life.
8The words of a talebearer are like sweet morsels; For they go down to the innermost parts of the body.
9Moreover, he that is slothful in his work Is brother to him that is a great waster.
10The name of the LORD is a strong tower; The righteous runneth to it, and is safe.
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 honor is humility.
13He who answereth a matter before he hath heard it, It is folly and shame to him.
14The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; But a wounded spirit who can bear?
