Chapter 18
Through
desire
a
man,
having
separated
himself,
seeketh
and
intermeddleth
with
all
wisdom.
2
A
fool
hath
no
delight
in
understanding,
but
that
his
heart
may
discover
itself.
3
When
the
wicked
cometh,
then
cometh
also
contempt,
and
with
ignominy
reproach.
4
The
words
of
a
man’s
mouth
are
as
deep
waters,
and
the
wellspring
of
wisdom
as
a
flowing
brook.
5
It
is
not
good
to
accept
the
person
of
the
wicked,
to
overthrow
the
righteous
in
judgment.
6
A
fool’s
lips
enter
into
contention,
and
his
mouth
calleth
for
strokes.
7
A
fool’s
mouth
is
his
destruction,
and
his
lips
are
the
snare
of
his
soul.
8
The
words
of
a
talebearer
are
as
wounds,
and
they
go
down
into
the
innermost
parts
of
the
belly.
9
He
also
that
is
slothful
in
his
work
is
brother
to
him
that
is
a
great
waster.
10
The
name
of
the
Lord
is
a
strong
tower:
the
righteous
runneth
into
it,
and
is
safe.
11
The
rich
man’s
wealth
is
his
strong
city,
and
as
an
high
wall
in
his
own
conceit.
12
Before
destruction
the
heart
of
man
is
haughty,
and
before
honour
is
humility.
13
He
that
answereth
a
matter
before
he
heareth
it,
it
is
folly
and
shame
unto
him.
14
The
spirit
of
a
man
will
sustain
his
infirmity;
but
a
wounded
spirit
who
can
bear?
15
The
heart
of
the
prudent
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
their
contentions
are
like
the
bars
of
a
castle.
20
A
man’s
belly
shall
be
satisfied
with
the
fruit
of
his
mouth;
and
with
the
increase
of
his
lips
shall
he
be
filled.
21
Death
and
life
are
in
the
power
of
the
tongue:
and
they
that
love
it
shall
eat
the
fruit
thereof.
22
Whoso
findeth
a
wife
findeth
a
good
thing,
and
obtaineth
favour
of
the
Lord.
23
The
poor
useth
intreaties;
but
the
rich
answereth
roughly.
24
A
man
that
hath
friends
must
shew
himself
friendly:
and
there
is
a
friend
that
sticketh
closer
than
a
brother.
