8The wordes of a tale bearer are as flatterings, and they goe downe into the bowels of the belly.
9He also that is slouthfull in his worke, is euen the brother of him that is a great waster.
10The Name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth vnto it, and is exalted.
11The rich mans riches are his strong citie: and as an hie wall in his imagination.
12Before destruction the heart of a man is hautie, and before glory goeth lowlines.
13He that answereth a matter before hee heare it, it is folly and shame vnto him.
14The spirit of a man will susteine his infirmitie: but a wounded spirit who can beare it?
