Proverbs 18:10-20

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.
