Proverbs 18:10-20

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 a high wall in his own conceit.

12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honor [is] humility.

13 He that answereth a matter before he heareth [it], it [is] folly and shame to 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 neighbor 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.
