Proverbs 18:11
Compare all
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 atower;
The righteous run to it and are1 safe. 
11 The rich man’s wealth is his strong city,
And like a high wall in his own esteem.
12 aBefore 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 aA 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 alots 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 aA man’s stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth;
From the produce of his lips he shall be filled. 
21 aDeath and life are in the power of the tongue,
And those who love it will eat its fruit. 
22 aHe who finds a wife finds a good thing,
And obtains favor from the Lord. 
23 The poor man uses entreaties,
But the rich answers aroughly.
