Proverbs 18:1-2, 6-8, 11, 20-21, 24

Proverbs 18:1-2 NLT

Unfriendly people care only about themselves; they lash out at common sense. Fools have no interest in understanding; they only want to air their own opinions.

Proverbs 18:6-8 NLT

Fools’ words get them into constant quarrels; they are asking for a beating. The mouths of fools are their ruin; they trap themselves with their lips. Rumors are dainty morsels that sink deep into one’s heart.

Proverbs 18:11 NLT

The rich think of their wealth as a strong defense; they imagine it to be a high wall of safety.

Proverbs 18:20-21 NLT

Wise words satisfy like a good meal; the right words bring satisfaction. The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences.

Proverbs 18:24 NLT

There are “friends” who destroy each other, but a real friend sticks closer than a brother.
