6A fool’s lips enter into contention, And his mouth calleth for stripes.
7A fool’s mouth is his destruction, 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.
9He also that is slack in his work Is brother to him that is a destroyer.
10The name of Jehovah is a strong tower; The righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
11The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, And as a high wall in his own imagination.
12Before destruction the heart of man is haughty; And before honor goeth humility.
13He that giveth answer before he heareth, It is folly and shame unto him.
14The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; But a broken spirit who can bear?
15The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; And the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
16A man’s gift maketh room for him, And bringeth him before great men.
17He that pleadeth his cause first seemeth just; But his neighbor cometh and searcheth him out.
