Proverbs 18:10-20

10 The ¹name of the LORD is a ²strong tower; The righteous runs into it and ³is safe.

11 A ⁴rich man's wealth is his strong city, And like a high wall in his own imagination.

12 ⁵Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, But ⁶humility goes before honor.

13 He who ⁷gives an answer before he hears, It is folly and shame to him.

14 The ⁸spirit of a man can endure his sickness, But as for a ⁹broken spirit who can bear it?

15 The ¹⁰mind of the prudent acquires knowledge, And the ¹¹ear of the wise seeks knowledge.

16 A man's ¹²gift makes room for him And brings him before great men.

17 The first to plead his case seems right, Until another comes and examines him.

18 The cast ¹³lot puts an end to strife And decides between the mighty ones.

19 A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city, And contentions are like the bars of a citadel.

20 With the ¹⁴fruit of a man's mouth his stomach will be satisfied; ¹⁵He will be satisfied with the product of his lips.
