Proverbs 18:1-20

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}
The rich man's
<06223>
wealth
<01952>
[is] his strong
<05797>
city
<07151>_,
and as an high
<07682> (8737)
wall
<02346>
in his own conceit
<04906>_.
Before
<06440>
destruction
<07667>
the heart
<03820>
of man
<0376>
is haughty
<01361> (8799)_,
and before
<06440>
honour
<03519>
[is] humility
<06038>_.
He that answereth
<07725> (8688)
a matter
<01697>
before he heareth
<08085> (8799)
[it], it [is] folly
<0200>
and shame
<03639>
unto him. {answereth...: Heb. returneth a word}
The spirit
<07307>
of a man
<0376>
will sustain
<03557> (8770)
his infirmity
<04245>_;
but a wounded
<05218>
spirit
<07307>
who can bear
<05375> (8799)_?
The heart
<03820>
of the prudent
<0995> (8737)
getteth
<07069> (8799)
knowledge
<01847>_;
and the ear
<0241>
of the wise
<02450>
seeketh
<01245> (8762)
knowledge
<01847>_.
A man's
<0120>
gift
<04976>
maketh room
<07337> (8686)
for him, and bringeth
<05148> (8686)
him before
<06440>
great men
<01419>_.
[He that is] first
<07223>
in his own cause
<07379>
[seemeth] just
<06662>_;
but his neighbour
<07453>
cometh
<0935> (8804) (8675) <0935> (8799)
and searcheth
<02713> (8804)
him.
The lot
<01486>
causeth contentions
<04079>
to cease
<07673> (8686)_,
and parteth
<06504> (8686)
between the mighty
<06099>_.
A brother
<0251>
offended
<06586> (8737)
[is harder to be won] than a strong
<05797>
city
<07151>_:
and [their] contentions
<04079> (8675) <04066>
[are] like the bars
<01280>
of a castle
<0759>_.
A man's
<0376>
belly
<0990>
shall be satisfied
<07646> (8799)
with the fruit
<06529>
of his mouth
<06310>_;
[and] with the increase
<08393>
of his lips
<08193>
shall he be filled
<07646> (8799)_.
