Proverbs 18:6-24 - ESV - A fool's lips walk into a fight, and his mouth ...

6 A fool's lips walk into a fight, and his mouth invites ¹a beating.

7 ²A fool's mouth is his ruin, and his lips are a snare to his soul.

8 ³The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels; they go down into ⁴the inner parts of the body.

9 Whoever is slack in his work is a ⁵brother to him who destroys.

10 ⁶The name of the LORD is ⁷a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and ⁸is safe.

11 ⁹A rich man's wealth is his strong city, and like a high wall in his imagination.

12 ¹⁰Before destruction a man's heart is haughty, but ¹¹humility comes before honor.

13 If one gives an answer ¹²before he hears, it is his folly and shame.

14 A man's spirit will endure sickness, but ¹³a crushed spirit who can bear?

15 An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.

16 A man's ¹⁴gift makes room for him and brings him before the great.

17 The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him.

18 ¹⁵The lot puts an end to quarrels and decides between powerful contenders.

19 A brother offended is more unyielding than a strong city, and quarreling is like the bars of a castle.

20 ¹⁶From the fruit of a man's mouth his stomach is satisfied; he is satisfied by the yield of his lips.

21 ¹⁷Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.

22 He who finds ¹⁸a wife finds ¹⁹a good thing and ²⁰obtains favor ²¹from the LORD.

23 The poor use entreaties, but ²²the rich answer roughly.

24 A man of many companions may come to ruin, but ²³there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
