  • Proverbs 18:1-12 (ESV)

    1 Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire;

    he breaks out against all sound judgment.

    2 A fool takes no pleasure in understanding,

    but only in expressing his opinion.

    3 When wickedness comes, contempt comes also,

    and with dishonor comes disgrace.

    4 The words of a man’s mouth are deep waters;

    the fountain of wisdom is a bubbling brook.

    5 It is not good to be partial to the wicked

    or to deprive the righteous of justice.

    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 work

    is 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.

    11 A rich man’s wealth is his strong city,

    and like a high wall in his imagination.

    12 Before destruction a man’s heart is haughty,

    but humility comes before honor.

    Prayer
