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.
