Proverbs 18:8-14

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.

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 or rightwise man runneth to him, and he shall be enhanced.

¹¹The chattel or substance of a rich man is the city of his strength; and as a strong wall compassing him.

¹²The heart of man is enhanced, before that it be broken; and it is made meek, before that it be glorified.

¹³He that answereth before that he heareth, showeth himself to be a fool; and worthy of shame.

¹⁴The spirit of a man sustaineth his feebleness; but who may sustain a spirit light to be wroth?
