Proverbs 18:8-10

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁸ The words of a whisperer are like dainty morsels,
And they go down into the ^[a]innermost parts of the body.
⁹ He also who is ^(A)slack in his work
^(B)Is brother to him who destroys.
¹⁰ The ^(C)name of the Lord is a ^(D)strong tower;
The righteous runs into it and ^(E)is ^[b]safe.
