Proverbs 18:10-12

Revised Standard Version

¹⁰The name of the Lord is a strong tower;
    the righteous man runs into it and is safe.
¹¹A rich man’s wealth is his strong city,
    and like a high wall protecting him.^[a]
¹²Before destruction a man’s heart is haughty,
    but humility goes before honor.
