Proverbs 18:6-10 English Standard Version (ESV)

6. A fool’s lips walk into a fight,and his mouth invites a beating.

7. A fool’s mouth is his ruin,and his lips are a snare to his soul.

8. The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels;they go down into the inner parts of the body.

9. Whoever is slack in his workis a brother to him who destroys.

10. The name of the Lord is a strong tower;the righteous man runs into it and is safe.
