A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.
A fool's mouth [is] his destruction, and his lips [are] the snare of his soul.
The words of a talebearer [are] as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.
The name of the LORD [is] a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
The rich man's wealth [is] his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit.
Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour [is] humility.
He that answereth a matter before he heareth [it], it [is] folly and shame unto him.
The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?
The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
