Proverbs 18:8-10

⁸The words of a double-tongued man be as simple; and they come unto the inner things of the womb. Dread casteth down a slow man; forsooth the souls of men turned into women’s condition shall have hunger. (A gossip’s wordsbe tasty; and they go down into the innermost parts. Fear casteth down the lazy; and those who be timid shall have hunger.)

⁹He that is nesh, and dissolute, either unsteadfast, in his work, is the brother of a man destroying his works.

¹⁰A full strong tower is the name of the Lord; a just man runneth to him, and he shall be enhanced. (The Lord’s nameis a full strong tower; the righteous run to it, and they shall be safe.)
