Proverbs 18:10

A fool’s mouth is his destruction,

and his lips are a snare to his soul.

The words of a gossip are like dainty morsels:

they go down into a person’s innermost parts.

One who is slack in his work

is brother to him who is a master of destruction.

The rich man’s wealth is his strong city,

like an unscalable wall in his own imagination.

Before destruction the heart of man is proud,

but before honor is humility.

He who answers before he hears,

that is folly and shame to him.
