# Proverbs 18 (New King James Version)
|
|
The Name of the Lord Is a Strong Tower
|
|
|
|
##### Chapter 18
|
|
###### 1 A man who isolates himself seeks his own desire;
|
|
He rages against all wise judgment.
|
|
|
|
###### 2 A fool has no delight in understanding,
|
|
But in expressing his own heart.
|
|
|
|
###### 3 When the wicked comes, contempt comes also;
|
|
And with dishonor _comes_ reproach.
|
|
|
|
###### 4 The words of a man's mouth _are_ deep waters;
|
|
The wellspring of wisdom _is_ a flowing brook.
|
|
|
|
###### 5 _It is_ not good to show partiality to the wicked,
|
|
_Or_ to overthrow the righteous in judgment.
|
|
|
|
###### 6 A fool's lips enter into contention,
|
|
And his mouth calls for blows.
|
|
|
|
###### 7 A fool's mouth _is_ his destruction,
|
|
And his lips _are_ the snare of his soul.
|
|
|
|
###### 8 The words of a talebearer _are_ like tasty trifles,
|
|
And they go down into the inmost body.
|
|
|
|
###### 9 He who is slothful in his work
|
|
Is a brother to him who is a great destroyer.
|
|
|
|
###### 10 The name of the Lord _is_ a strong tower;
|
|
The righteous run to it and are safe.
|
|
|
|
###### 11 The rich man's wealth _is_ his strong city,
|
|
And like a high wall in his own esteem.
|
|
|
|
###### 12 Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty,
|
|
And before honor _is_ humility.
|
|
|
|
###### 13 He who answers a matter before he hears _it,_
|
|
It _is_ folly and shame to him.
|
|
|
|
###### 14 The spirit of a man will sustain him in sickness,
|
|
But who can bear a broken spirit?
|
|
|
|
###### 15 The heart of the prudent acquires knowledge,
|
|
And the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
|
|
|
|
###### 16 A man's gift makes room for him,
|
|
And brings him before great men.
|
|
|
|
###### 17 The first _one_ to plead his cause _seems_ right,
|
|
Until his neighbor comes and examines him.
|
|
|
|
###### 18 Casting lots causes contentions to cease,
|
|
And keeps the mighty apart.
|
|
|
|
###### 19 A brother offended _is harder to win_ than a strong city,
|
|
And contentions _are_ like the bars of a castle.
|
|
|
|
###### 20 A man's stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth;
|
|
_From_ the produce of his lips he shall be filled.
|
|
|
|
###### 21 Death and life _are_ in the power of the tongue,
|
|
And those who love it will eat its fruit.
|
|
|
|
###### 22 _He who_ finds a wife finds a good _thing,_
|
|
And obtains favor from the Lord.
|
|
|
|
###### 23 The poor _man_ uses entreaties,
|
|
But the rich answers roughly.
|
|
|
|
###### 24 A man _who has_ friends must himself be friendly,
|
|
But there is a friend _who_ sticks closer than a brother.
