PRO 18:1–18:24 ©

Proverbs 18

18The estranged friend seeks an occasion of quarrel;

he tries by all means to stir up strife.

2A fool has no pleasure in prudence,

but only in self-display.

3Wrongdoing brings down contempt,

and disgrace follows dishonour.

4The words that are found on wise lips are deep waters,

a bubbling brook, a fountain of life.

5It is wrong to favour the guilty,

to give verdict against the innocent.

6A fool by his talk is involved in disputes,

and his words cry aloud for a beating.

7The mouth of a fool is his ruin;

his lips are a trap to him.

8Slanderous words are like dainty morsels;

down they ghde to the innermost being.

9He that is slack in his business

is brother to him that destroys.

10The Lord is a mighty tower;

the righteous run in and are safe.

11A rich man’s wealth is his fortified city,

and like a high wall are his riches.

12Pride of heart goes before destruction,

and before honour goes humility.

13For a man to answer before he has heard

is folly and shame to him.

14A man’s spirit sustains his weakness,

but who can bear a crushed spirit?

15A sensible mind acquires knowledge,

and a wise ear seeks out wisdom.

16Presents prepare a man’s way,

and bring him before the great.

17The first man to plead seems right,

but then comes the other and tests him.

18The lot puts an end to disputes,

and decides between the mighty.

19The rich man’s wealth is his fortified city;

his riches resemble the bars of a fortress.

20A man’s words will bear for him plenty of fruit.

and his speech will have an abundant harvest.

21Death and life are in the power of the tongue,

and those who love it must eat its fruit.

22He that finds a wife has found a blessing,

and won a sign of the Lord’s good will.

23A poor man speaks like a supplicant,

but the rich man answers gruffly.

24There are friends that seek nothing but company,

and a friend who clings closer than brother.
