Chapter 18 | |
1. |
Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom. |
|
2. |
A fool has 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 makes 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 parts 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 of it. |
|
22. |
Whoso finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord. |
|
23. |
The poor useth intreaties; but the rich answereth roughly. |
|
24. |
A man that has friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. |
