Proverbs:
Chapter 18
1. THROUGH
desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with
all wisdom.
2. A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may
discover itself.
3. When the wicked cometh, then cometh also contempt, and with ignominy
reproach.
4. The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of
wisdom as a flowing brook.
5. It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to overthrow the
righteous in judgment.
6. A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for
strokes.
7. A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his
soul.
8. The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the
innermost parts of the belly.
9. He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a
great waster.
10. The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into
it, and is safe.
11. The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his
own conceit.
12. Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is
humility.
13. He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and
shame unto him.
14. The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded 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 is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour
cometh and searcheth him.
18. The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the
mighty.
19. A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their
contentions are like the bars of a castle.
20. A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and
with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.
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 favour of
the LORD.
23. The poor useth entreaties; but the rich answereth roughly.
24. A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a
friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
