Proverbs 18:12 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 18:12

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.
