A fool's
<03684>
<03684>
mouth
<06310>
<06310>
[is] his destruction
<04288>_,
<04288>_,
and his lips
<08193>
<08193>
[are] the snare
<04170>
<04170>
of his soul
<05315>_.
<05315>_.
The words
<01697>
<01697>
of a talebearer
<05372>
<05372>
into the innermost parts
<02315>
<02315>
of the belly
<0990>_.
{talebearer: or, whisperer} {as wounds: or, like as when men are wounded} {most...: Heb. chambers}<0990>_.
The name
<08034>
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>
<03068>
[is] a strong
<05797>
<05797>
tower
<04026>_:
<04026>_:
the righteous
<06662>
{safe: Heb. set aloft}<06662>
The rich man's
<06223>
<06223>
wealth
<01952>
<01952>
[is] his strong
<05797>
<05797>
city
<07151>_,
<07151>_,
wall
<02346>
<02346>
in his own conceit
<04906>_.
<04906>_.
Before
<06440>
<06440>
destruction
<07667>
<07667>
the heart
<03820>
<03820>
of man
<0376>
<0376>
and before
<06440>
<06440>
honour
<03519>
<03519>
[is] humility
<06038>_.
<06038>_.
a matter
<01697>
<01697>
[it], it [is] folly
<0200>
<0200>
and shame
<03639>
unto him. {answereth...: Heb. returneth a word}<03639>
[He that is] first
<07223>
<07223>
in his own cause
<07379>
<07379>
[seemeth] just
<06662>_;
<06662>_;
but his neighbour
<07453>
him.<07453>
A brother
<0251>
<0251>
[is harder to be won] than a strong
<05797>
<05797>
city
<07151>_:
<07151>_:
[are] like the bars
<01280>
<01280>
of a castle
<0759>_.
<0759>_.
A man's
<0376>
<0376>
belly
<0990>
<0990>
with the fruit
<06529>
<06529>
of his mouth
<06310>_;
<06310>_;
[and] with the increase
<08393>
<08393>
of his lips
<08193>
<08193>
Death
<04194>
<04194>
and life
<02416>
<02416>
[are] in the power
<03027>
<03027>
of the tongue
<03956>_:
<03956>_:
the fruit
<06529>
thereof.<06529>
