| Proverbs 18: (ASV) |
| 1) He that separateth himself seeketh his own desire, And rageth against all sound wisdom. |
| 2) A fool hath no delight in understanding, But only that his heart may reveal itself. |
| 3) When the wicked cometh, there cometh also contempt, And with ignominy cometh reproach. |
| 4) The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters; The wellspring of wisdom is as a flowing brook. |
| 5) To respect the person of the wicked is not good, Nor to turn aside the righteous in judgment. |
| 6) A fool's lips enter into contention, And his mouth calleth for stripes. |
| 7) A fool's mouth is his destruction, And his lips are the snare of his soul. |
| 8) The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, And they go down into the innermost parts. |
| 9) He also that is slack in his work Is brother to him that is a destroyer. |
| 10) The name of Jehovah is a strong tower; The righteous runneth into it, and is safe. |
| 11) The rich man's wealth is his strong city, And as a high wall in his own imagination. |
| 12) Before destruction the heart of man is haughty; And before honor goeth humility. |
| 13) He that giveth answer before he heareth, It is folly and shame unto him. |
| 14) The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; But a broken 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 pleadeth his cause first seemeth just; But his neighbor cometh and searcheth him out. |
| 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 such contentions are like the bars of a castle. |
| 20) A man's belly shall be filled with the fruit of his mouth; With the increase of his lips shall he be satisfied. |
| 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 favor of Jehovah. |
| 23) The poor useth entreaties; But the rich answereth roughly. |
| 24) He that maketh many friends doeth it to his own destruction; But there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. |
