Context of Proverbs 18:10
8The words of a whisperer are like dainty morsels, And they go down into the innermost parts of the body. 9He also who is slack in his work Is brother to him who destroys. The name of the Lord is a strong tower; The righteous runs into it and is safe. 11A rich man’s wealth is his strong city, And like a high wall in his own imagination. 12Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, But humility goes before honor.
