He also who is indolent in his work is brother of the destroyer.

The name of Jehovah is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
11
The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as a high wall in his own imagination.
12
Before destruction the heart of man is haughty; and before honour [goeth] humility.
