6 A fool's lips enter into contention, And his mouth calls for blows.

7 A fool's mouth is his destruction, And his lips are the snare of his soul.

8 The words of a talebearer are like tasty trifles, And they go down into the inmost body.

9 He who is slothful in his work Is a brother to him who is a great destroyer.

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

11 The rich man's wealth is his strong city, And like a high wall in his own esteem.

12 Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty, And before honor is humility.

13 He who answers a matter before he hears it, It is folly and shame to him.

14 The spirit of a man will sustain him in sickness, But who can bear a broken spirit?

15 The heart of the prudent acquires knowledge, And the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.

16 A man's gift makes room for him, And brings him before great men.

17 The first one to plead his cause seems right, Until his neighbor comes and examines him.

18 Casting lots causes contentions to cease, And keeps the mighty apart.

19 A brother offended is harder to win than a strong city, And contentions are like the bars of a castle.

20 A man's stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth, From the produce of his lips he shall be filled.

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

22 He who finds a wife finds a good thing, And obtains favor from the Lord.

23 The poor man uses entreaties, But the rich answers roughly.

24 A man who has friends must himself be friendly, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

Proverbios 18:6 Los labios del necio provocan contienda, y su boca llama a los golpes.

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

6 Los labios del loco vienen con pleito; y su boca a plaga llama

6 A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.

Proverbios 18:6 Con sus palabras, los necios se meten continuamente en pleitos;
van en busca de una paliza.

6 Los labios del necio son causa de contienda;su boca incita a la riña.

6 Los labios del necio vienen con pleito; Y su boca á cuestiones llama.

6 Los labios del loco vienen con pleito; y su boca a plaga llama.
