Proverbs 18:3

The Power of Words: Isolation, Pride, Justice, Friendship, and the Name of the LORD

The chapter moves from isolation and foolish speech, to justice and gossip, to true refuge in the LORD contrasted with false wealth-security, to listening and knowledge, to disputes and the tongue's power, and finally to marriage, poverty, and faithful friendship.
