Proverbs 18

To (his own) desire seeks he who separates himself; against all sound wisdom he breaks out. not has delight A fool in understanding, but only in uncovering his heart. When comes the wicked, comes also scorn; and with shame (comes) reproach. Water Deep (are) the words of mouth a man’s. is a stream flowing the fountain of wisdom. To lift up the face of the wicked not (is) good; (nor) to turn aside the righteous in judgment. lips A fool’s enter into strife; and his mouth for strokes calls. mouth A fool’s (is) ruin to him, and his lips (are) the snare of his soul. The words of a slanderer are like tasty morsels; and they go (into) the chambers of the belly. Also, he who is slack in his work, (is) brother he a to a lord of destruction. a tower of strength The name of Jehovah (is) into it run the righteous and is exalted. riches The rich man’s are city his strong; and as a wall high in his imagination. Before shattering is haughty heart a man’s; but before honor (goes) humility. He who answers a matter before he hears, folly it (is) to him and shame. The spirit of a man will endure his sickness; but a spirit stricken who can bear it? The heart of the prudent gets knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge. bribe a man’s makes room for him, and before great (men) leads him. (seems) just The first in his cause; (but) comes neighbor and tests him. strifes causes to cease The lot, and between the mighty divides. A brother offended (is like) a city of strength and strifes like the bars of a citadel. With the fruit of mouth a man’s shall be satisfied his belly; (with) the produce of his lips shall be satisfied. Breath and life (are) in the hand of the tongue, and those loving it shall eat its fruit. He who finds a wife finds good, and gets favor from Jehovah (with) entreaties speak The poor, but the rich answers roughly. A man of friends may be broken up; but there is a Lover who sticks closer than a brother.
