In context
6A fool’s lips walk into a quarrel, and his mouth calls for a beating. 7A fool’s mouth is his ruin, and his lips are a snare to his life. 8The words of a whisperer are like choice morsels; they go down to the inner chambers of the belly. 9Whoever is slack in his work is brother to the one who destroys. 10The name of Yahweh is a strong tower; the righteous runs into it and is safe.
