6 A fool's lips come into strife, And his mouth invites beatings.
7 A fool's mouth is his destruction, And his lips are a snare to his soul.
8 The words of a gossip are like dainty morsels: They go down into a person's innermost parts.
9 One who is slack in his work Is brother to him who is a master of destruction.
10 The name of Yahweh is a strong tower: The righteous run to him, and are safe.
