PR-18:1 Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh[and] intermeddleth with all wisdom. PR-18:2 A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself. PR-18:3 When the wicked cometh, [then] cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach. PR-18:4 The words of a man's mouth [are as] deep waters, [and] the wellspring of wisdom [as] a flowing brook. PR-18:5 [It is] not good to accept the person of the wicked, to overthrow the righteous in judgment. PR-18:6 A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes. PR-18:7 A fool's mouth [is] his destruction, and his lips [are] the snare of his soul. PR-18:8 The words of a talebearer [are] as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly. PR-18:9 He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster. PR-18:10 The name of the LORD [is] a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. PR-18:11 The rich man's wealth [is] his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit. PR-18:12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour [is] humility. PR-18:13 He that answereth a matter before he heareth [it], it [is] folly and shame unto him. PR-18:14 The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear? PR-18:15 The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge. PR-18:16 A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men. PR-18:17 [He that is] first in his own cause [seemeth] just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him. PR-18:18 The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty. PR-18:19 A brother offended [is harder to be won] than a strong city: and [their] contentions [are] like the bars of a castle. PR-18:20 A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; [and] with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. PR-18:21 Death and life [are] in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. PR-18:22 [Whoso] findeth a wife findeth a good [thing], and obtaineth favour of the LORD. PR-18:23 The poor useth entreaties; but the rich answereth roughly. PR-18:24 A man [that hath] friends must show himself friendly: and there is a friend [that] sticketh closer than a brother.
