Proverbs 18:10-15 Modern English Version (MEV)

10. The name of the Lord is a strong tower;the righteous run into it and are safe.

11. The rich man’s wealth is his strong city,and as a high wall in his own conceit.

12. Before destruction the heart of man is haughty,and before honor is humility.

13. He who answers a matter before he hearsit,it is folly and shame to him.

14. The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity,but a wounded spirit who can bear?

15. The heart of the prudent gets knowledge,and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
