Proverbs 18:1-10

Through desire
<08378>
a man, having separated
<06504> (8737)
himself, seeketh
<01245> (8762)
[and] intermeddleth
<01566> (8691)
with all wisdom
<08454>_.
{Through...: or, He that separateth himself seeketh according to his desire, and intermeddleth in every business}
A fool
<03684>
hath no delight
<02654> (8799)
in understanding
<08394>_,
but that his heart
<03820>
may discover
<01540> (8692)
itself.
When the wicked
<07563>
cometh
<0935> (8800)_,
[then] cometh
<0935> (8804)
also contempt
<0937>_,
and with ignominy
<07036>
reproach
<02781>_.
The words
<01697>
of a man's
<0376>
mouth
<06310>
[are as] deep
<06013>
waters
<04325>_,
[and] the wellspring
<04726>
of wisdom
<02451>
[as] a flowing
<05042> (8802)
brook
<05158>_.
[It is] not good
<02896>
to accept
<05375> (8800)
the person
<06440>
of the wicked
<07563>_,
to overthrow
<05186> (8687)
the righteous
<06662>
in judgment
<04941>_.
A fool's
<03684>
lips
<08193>
enter
<0935> (8799)
into contention
<07379>_,
and his mouth
<06310>
calleth
<07121> (8799)
for strokes
<04112>_.
A fool's
<03684>
mouth
<06310>
[is] his destruction
<04288>_,
and his lips
<08193>
[are] the snare
<04170>
of his soul
<05315>_.
The words
<01697>
of a talebearer
<05372>
[are] as wounds
<03859> (8693)_,
and they go down
<03381> (8804)
into the innermost parts
<02315>
of the belly
<0990>_.
{talebearer: or, whisperer} {as wounds: or, like as when men are wounded} {most...: Heb. chambers}
He also that is slothful
<07503> (8693)
in his work
<04399>
is brother
<0251>
to him that is a great
<01167>
waster
<07843> (8688)_.
The name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>
[is] a strong
<05797>
tower
<04026>_:
the righteous
<06662>
runneth
<07323> (8799)
into it, and is safe
<07682> (8738)_.
{safe: Heb. set aloft}
