    Proverbs 18
    • 1   For an object of desire he who is separated doth seek, With all wisdom he intermeddleth.
    • 2   A fool delighteth not in understanding, But--in uncovering his heart.
    • 3   With the coming of the wicked come also hath contempt, And with shame--reproach.
    • 4   Deep waters are the words of a man's mouth, The fountain of wisdom is a flowing brook.
    • 5   Acceptance of the face of the wicked is not good, To turn aside the righteous in judgment.
    • 6   The lips of a fool enter into strife, And his mouth for stripes calleth.
    • 7   The mouth of a fool is ruin to him, And his lips are the snare of his soul.
    • 8   The words of a tale-bearer are as self-inflicted wounds, And they have gone down to the inner parts of the heart.
    • 9   He also that is remiss in his work, A brother he is to a destroyer.
    • 10   A tower of strength is the name of Jehovah, Into it the righteous runneth, and is set on high.
    • 11   The wealth of the rich is the city of his strength, And as a wall set on high in his own imagination.
    • 12   Before destruction the heart of man is high, And before honour is humility.
    • 13   Whoso is answering a matter before he heareth, Folly it is to him and shame.
    • 14   The spirit of a man sustaineth his sickness, And a smitten spirit who doth bear?
    • 15   The heart of the intelligent getteth knowledge, And the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
    • 16   The gift of a man maketh room for him, And before the great it leadeth him.
    • 17   Righteous is the first in his own cause, His neighbour cometh and hath searched him.
    • 18   The lot causeth contentions to cease, And between the mighty it separateth.
    • 19   A brother transgressed against is as a strong city, And contentions as the bar of a palace.
    • 20   From the fruit of a man's mouth is his belly satisfied, From the increase of his lips he is satisfied.
    • 21   Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those loving it eat its fruit.
    • 22   Whoso hath found a wife hath found good, And bringeth out good-will from Jehovah.
    • 23   With supplications doth the poor speak, And the rich answereth fierce things.
    • 24   A man with friends is to show himself friendly, And there is a lover adhering more than a brother!
