⁶A fool’s lips bring strife,
and a fool’s mouth invites a flogging.
⁷The mouths of fools are their ruin,
and their lips a snare to themselves.
⁸The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels;
they go down into the inner parts of the body.
⁹One who is slack in work
is close kin to a vandal.
¹⁰The name of the Lord is a strong tower;
the righteous run into it and are safe.
¹¹The wealth of the rich is their strong city;
in their imagination it is like a high wall.
¹²Before destruction one’s heart is haughty,
but humility goes before honor.
