Proverbs 18:6-12 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

6. A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for stripes.

7. A fool's mouth is destruction to him, and his lips are a snare to his soul.

8. The words of a talebearer are as dainty morsels, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

9. He also who is indolent in his work is brother of the destroyer.

10. The name of Jehovah is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.

11. The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as a high wall in his own imagination.

12. Before destruction the heart of man is haughty; and before honour goeth humility.
