Strong Fortress Proverbs 18

Verse

The name of the Lord is a strong fortress;

The rich think of their wealth as a strong defense;

they imagine it to be a high wall for safety;

Pride comes before the fall,

But humility comes before honor;

Verse

The human spirit can endure a sick body,

but who can bear a crushed spirit?

Intelligent people are always ready to learn.

Their ears are open for knowledge.

Life and death are in the power of the tongue
