Proverbes 18
XVIII ¶ [fn]Through desire a man hauing separated himselfe, seeketh and intermedleth with all wisedome. 2 A foole hath no delight in vnderstanding, but that his heart may discouer it selfe. 3 When the wicked commeth, then commeth also contempt, and with ignominie, reproch. 4 [fn]The words of a mans mouth, are as deepe waters, and the well-spring of wisedome as a flowing brooke. 5 [fn]It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to ouerthrowe the righteous in iudgement. 6 A fooles lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes. 7 [fn]A fooles mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soule. 8 [fn][fn][fn][fn]The words of a tale bearer are as wounds, and they goe downe into the innermost parts of the belly. 9 Hee also that is slouthful in his worke, is brother to him that is a great waster. 10 [fn][fn]The name of the LORD is a a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. 11 [fn]The rich mans wealth is his strong citie: and as an high wall in his owne conceit. 12 [fn]Before destruction the heart of man is haughtie, and before honour is humilitie. 13 [fn]He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame vnto him. 14 The spirit of a man will sustaine his infirmitie: but a wounded spirit who can beare? 15 The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the eare of the wise seeketh knowledge. 16 [fn]A mans gift maketh roome for him, & bringeth him before great men. 17 He that is first in his owne cause, seemeth iust; but his neighbour commeth and searcheth him. 18 The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth betweene the mighty. 19 A brother offended is harder to be wonne then a strong citie: and their contentions are like the barres of a castle. 20 [fn]A mans belly shall be satisfied with the fruite of his mouth; and with the increase of his lippes shall he be filled. 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and they that loue it shall eate the fruite thereof. 22 [fn]Who so findeth a wife, findeth a good thing, and obtaineth fauour of the LORD. 23 [fn]The poore vseth intreaties, but the rich answereth roughly. 24 [fn]A man that hath friends must shewe himselfe friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer then a brother.
