Proverbs 18 (KJV) 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 show himself friendly: and there is a friend
that sticketh closer than a brother.
