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.
