Proverbs 18:8-10

New Life Version

⁸ The words of one who speaks about others in secret are like tempting bites of food. They go down into the inside parts of the body.

⁹ He who is lazy in his work is a brother to him who destroys.

¹⁰ The name of the Lord is a strong tower. The man who does what is right runs into it and is safe.
