Proverbs 18:9-11
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
9 He who is loose and slack in his work is brother to him who is a destroyer and [a]he who does not use his endeavors to heal himself is brother to him who commits suicide.
10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the [consistently] righteous man [upright and in right standing with God] runs into it and is safe, high [above evil] and strong.
11 The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, and as a high protecting wall in his own imagination and conceit.
