“The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe” Proverbs chapter 18 verse 10.
Proverbs chapter 18 verse 1-12
A man who isolates himself seeks his own desire; he rages against all wise judgment.
2 A fool has no delight in understanding, but in expressing his own heart.
3 When the wicked comes, contempt comes also; and with dishonour comes reproach.
4 The words of a man’s mouth are deep waters; the wellspring of wisdom is a flowing brook.
5 It is not good to show partiality to the wicked, or to overthrow the righteous in judgment.
6 A fool’s lips enter into contention, and his mouth calls for blows.
7 A fool’s mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.
8 The words of a talebearer are like tasty trifles, and they go down into the inmost body.
9 He who is slothful in his work is a brother to him who is a great destroyer.
10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.
11 The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, and like a high wall in his own esteem.
12 Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty, and before honour is humility.
