Proverbs 18:10-14 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

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

11. The wealth of the rich is their fortified city;they imagine it a wall too high to scale.

12. Before a downfall the heart is haughty,but humility comes before honour.

13. To answer before listening –that is folly and shame.

14. The human spirit can endure in times of illness,but a crushed spirit who can bear?
