Proverbs 18
- 1 He that separateth himself seeketh his own desire, And rageth against all sound wisdom.
- 2 A fool hath no delight in understanding, But only that his heart may reveal itself.
- 3 When the wicked cometh, there cometh also contempt, And with ignominy cometh reproach.
- 4 The words of a man’s mouth areasdeep waters; The wellspring of wisdom is as a flowing brook.
- 5 To respect the person of the wicked is not good, Norto turn aside the righteous in judgment.
- 6 A fool’s lips enter into contention, And his mouth calleth for stripes.
- 7 A fool’s mouth is his destruction, And his lips are the snare of his soul.
- 8 The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, And they go down into the innermost parts.
- 9 He also that is slack in his work Is brother to him that is a destroyer.
- 10 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 honorgoethhumility.
- 13 He that giveth answer before he heareth, It is folly and shame unto him.
- 14 The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; But a broken spirit who can bear?
- 15 The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; And the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
- 16 A man’s gift maketh room for him, And bringeth him before great men.
- 17 He that pleadeth his cause first seemeth just; But his neighbor cometh and searcheth him out.
- 18 The lot causeth contentions to cease, And parteth between the mighty.
- 19 A brother offendedis harder to be won than a strong city; Andsuchcontentions are like the bars of a castle.
- 20 A man’s belly shall be filled with the fruit of his mouth; With the increase of his lips shall he be satisfied.
- 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue; And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
- 22 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, And obtaineth favor of Jehovah.
- 23 The poor useth entreaties; But the rich answereth roughly.
- 24 He that maketh many friends doeth it to his own destruction; But there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
