8 ¹The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels; they go down into ²the inner parts of the body.

9 Whoever is slack in his work is a ³brother to him who destroys.

10 ⁴The name of the LORD is ⁵a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and ⁶is safe.

11 ⁷A rich man's wealth is his strong city, and like a high wall in his imagination.

12 ⁸Before destruction a man's heart is haughty, but ⁹humility comes before honor.

13 If one gives an answer ¹⁰before he hears, it is his folly and shame.

14 A man's spirit will endure sickness, but ¹¹a crushed spirit who can bear?

15 An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.

16 A man's ¹²gift makes room for him and brings him before the great.

17 The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him.

18 ¹³The lot puts an end to quarrels and decides between powerful contenders.

19 A brother offended is more unyielding than a strong city, and quarreling is like the bars of a castle.

20 ¹⁴From the fruit of a man's mouth his stomach is satisfied; he is satisfied by the yield of his lips.

21 ¹⁵Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.

22 He who finds ¹⁶a wife finds ¹⁷a good thing and ¹⁸obtains favor ¹⁹from the LORD.

23 The poor use entreaties, but ²⁰the rich answer roughly.

24 A man of many companions may come to ruin, but ²¹there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
