Proverbs 18 (New International Version)

Proverbs 18

1 An unfriendly man pursues
selfish ends;
he defies all sound
judgment.

2 A fool finds no pleasure in
understanding
but delights in airing
his own opinions.

3 When wickedness comes, so
does contempt,
and with shame comes
disgrace.

4 The words of a man's mouth
are deep waters,
but the fountain of
wisdom is a bubbling brook.

5 It is not good to be
partial to the wicked
or to deprive the
innocent of justice.

6 A fool's lips bring him
strife,
and his mouth invites a
beating.

7 A fool's mouth is his
undoing,
and his lips are a snare to
his soul.

8 The words of a gossip are
like choice morsels;
they go down to a
man's inmost parts.

9 One who is slack in his
work
is brother to one who destroys.

10 The name of the LORD is a
strong tower;
the righteous run to it
and are safe.

11 The wealth of the rich is
their fortified city;
they imagine it
an unscalable wall.

12 Before his downfall a
man's heart is proud,
but humility
comes before honor.

13 He who answers before
listening—
that is his folly and his
shame.

14 A man's spirit sustains
him in sickness,
but a crushed spirit
who can bear?

15 The heart of the
discerning acquires knowledge;
the ears
of the wise seek it out.

16 A gift opens the way for
the giver
and ushers him into the
presence of the great.

17 The first to present his
case seems right,
till another comes
forward and questions him.

18 Casting the lot settles
disputes
and keeps strong opponents
apart.

19 An offended brother is
more unyielding than a fortified city,

and disputes are like the barred gates of a citadel.

20 From the fruit of his
mouth a man's stomach is filled;
with
the harvest from his lips he is satisfied.

21 The tongue has the power
of life and death,
and those who love
it will eat its fruit.

22 He who finds a wife finds
what is good
and receives favor from
the LORD.

23 A poor man pleads for
mercy,
but a rich man answers harshly.

24 A man of many companions
may come to ruin,
but there is a friend
who sticks closer than a brother.
