The Danger of the Fool's Speech and Sloth
6
A fool’s lips enter into contention, And his mouth calleth for stripes.
7
A fool’s mouth is his destruction, And his lips are the snare of his soul.
8
The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, And they go down into the innermost parts.
9
He also that is slack in his work Is brother to him that is a destroyer.
