Proverbs 18:9-24 - ESV - Whoever is slack in his work is a brother to hi...

9 Whoever is slack in his work is a ¹brother to him who destroys.

10 ²The name of the LORD is ³a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and ⁴is safe.

11 ⁵A rich man's wealth is his strong city, and like a high wall in his imagination.

12 ⁶Before destruction a man's heart is haughty, but ⁷humility comes before honor.

13 If one gives an answer ⁸before he hears, it is his folly and shame.

14 A man's spirit will endure sickness, but ⁹a crushed spirit who can bear?

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

16 A man's ¹⁰gift 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 ¹¹The 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 ¹²From the fruit of a man's mouth his stomach is satisfied; he is satisfied by the yield of his lips.

21 ¹³Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.

22 He who finds ¹⁴a wife finds ¹⁵a good thing and ¹⁶obtains favor ¹⁷from the LORD.

23 The poor use entreaties, but ¹⁸the rich answer roughly.

24 A man of many companions may come to ruin, but ¹⁹there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
