8 The words of the double-tongued seem simple. And they reach even to the interior of the gut. Fear casts down the lazy, but the souls of the effeminate shall go hungry.
9 Whoever is dissolute and slack in his work is the brother of him who wastes his own works.
10 The name of the Lord is a very strong tower. The just one rushes to it, and he shall be exalted.
11 The substance of the wealthy is the city of his strength, and it is like a strong wall encircling him.
12 The heart of a man is exalted before it is crushed and humbled before it is glorified.
