Proverbs 18:10-13 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

10. The name of the Lord is like a strong tower. Godly people run to it and are safe.

11. The wealth of rich people is like a city that makes them feel safe. They think of it as a city with walls that can't be climbed.

12. If a man's heart is proud, he will be destroyed. So don't be proud if you want to be honored.

13. To answer before listening is foolish and shameful.
