verse 8/16

[DerekP Houston]

Proverbs 18

1 An unfriendly person pursues selfish ends and against all sound judgment starts quarrels.
2Fools find no pleasure in understanding but delight in airing their own opinions.
3 When wickedness comes, so does contempt, and with shame comes reproach.
4 The words of the mouth are deep waters, but the fountain of wisdom is a rushing stream.
5 It is not good to be partial to the wicked and so deprive the innocent of justice.
6 The lips of fools bring them strife, and their mouths invite a beating.
7 The mouths of fools are their undoing, and their lips are a snare to their very lives.
8 The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to the inmost parts.
9 One who is slack in his work is brother to one who destroys.
10 The name of the LORD is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.

Derek, Thanks....kind of reminds me of what is currently going on around this country....Prayer and belief in the Holy Trinity is the answer.
