2.1 KiB
Chapter 18
-
Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire; he breaks out against all sound judgment.
-
A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.
-
When wickedness comes, contempt comes also, and with dishonor comes disgrace.
-
The words of a man's mouth are deep waters; the fountain of wisdom is a bubbling brook.
-
It is not good to be partial to the wicked or to deprive the righteous of justice.
-
A fool's lips walk into a fight, and his mouth invites a beating.
-
A fool's mouth is his ruin, and his lips are a snare to his soul.
-
The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels; they go down into the inner parts of the body.
-
Whoever is slack in his work is a brother to him who destroys.
-
The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe.
-
A rich man's wealth is his strong city, and like a high wall in his imagination.
-
Before destruction a man's heart is haughty, but humility comes before honor.
-
If one gives an answer before he hears, it is his folly and shame.
-
A man's spirit will endure sickness, but a crushed spirit who can bear?
-
An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
-
A man's gift makes room for him and brings him before the great.
-
The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him.
-
The lot puts an end to quarrels and decides between powerful contenders.
-
A brother offended is more unyielding than a strong city, and quarreling is like the bars of a castle.
-
From the fruit of a man's mouth his stomach is satisfied; he is satisfied by the yield of his lips.
-
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.
-
He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the LORD.
-
The poor use entreaties, but the rich answer roughly.
-
A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
