“One who is slack in his workis brother to him who is a master of destruction.”
Proverbs 18:9 (WEB)
Context Reading
7A fool’s mouth is his destruction,and his lips are a snare to his soul. 8The words of a gossip are like dainty morsels:they go down into a person’s innermost parts. 9One who is slack in his workis brother to him who is a master of destruction. 10Yahweh’s name is a strong tower:the righteous run to him, and are safe. 11The rich man’s wealth is his strong city,like an unscalable wall in his own imagination.
