Proverbs 18:10, 15, 19-24

Proverbs 18:10 NCV

The LORD is like a strong tower; those who do right can run to him for safety.

Proverbs 18:15 NCV

The mind of a person with understanding gets knowledge; the wise person listens to learn more.

Proverbs 18:19-24 NCV

A brother who has been insulted is harder to win back than a walled city, and arguments separate people like the barred gates of a palace. People will be rewarded for what they say; they will be rewarded by how they speak. What you say can mean life or death. Those who speak with care will be rewarded. When a man finds a wife, he finds something good. It shows that the LORD is pleased with him. The poor beg for mercy, but the rich give rude answers. Some friends may ruin you, but a real friend will be more loyal than a brother.
