Proverbs 18:10

Protection and safetyGod's presenceFaith

8 The words of a gossip are like choice morsels that go down into the inmost being.

9 Whoever is slothful in his work is brother to him who destroys.

The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.

11 A rich man’s wealth is his fortified city; it is like a high wall in his imagination.

12 Before his downfall a man’s heart is proud, but humility comes before honor.
