Proverbs 18:11 Context
9Hee also that is slouthful in his worke, is brother to him that is a great waster. 10The name of the Lord is a a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. 11The rich mans wealth is his strong citie: and as an high wall in his owne conceit. 12Before destruction the heart of man is haughtie, and before honour is humilitie. 13He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame vnto him.
