Proverbs 18:7-13 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

7. A fool’s words will ruin him.He will be trapped by his own words.

8. The words of a gossip are like tasty bits of food.People take them all in.

9. A person who doesn’t work hardis just like a person who destroys things.

10. The Lord is like a strong tower.Those who do what is right can run to him for safety.

11. Rich people trust their wealth to protect them.They think it is like the high walls of a city.

12. People who are proud will be ruined.But those who are not proud will be honored.

13. A person who answers without listeningis foolish and disgraceful.
