Proverbs 18:12-20 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

12. Before destruction the heart of man is haughty; and before honour goeth humility.

13. He that giveth answer before he heareth, it is folly and shame unto him.

14. The spirit of a man sustaineth his infirmity; but a broken spirit who can bear?

15. The heart of an intelligent man getteth knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.

16. A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.

17. He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him.

18. The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty.

19. A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city; and contentions are as the bars of a palace.

20. A man's belly is satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; with the increase of his lips is he satisfied.
