Proverbs 18:10-20

10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are protected.^[a] ^[b]

11 A rich man's wealth is his fortified city; in his imagination it is like a high wall.^[c]

12 Before his downfall a man's heart is proud, but before honor comes humility.^[d]

13 The one who gives an answer before he listens- this is foolishness and disgrace for him.^[e]

14 A man's spirit can endure sickness, but who can survive a broken spirit?^[f]

15 The mind of the discerning acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks it.^[g]

16 A gift opens doors^[h] for a man and brings him before the great.^[i]

17 The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.^[j]

18 [Casting] the lot ends quarrels and separates powerful opponents.

19 An offended brother is [harder to reach]^[k] than a fortified city, and quarrels are like the bars of a fortress.

20 From the fruit of his mouth a man's stomach is satisfied; he is filled with the product of his lips.^[l]
