Proverbs 18:12-19
12Before destructionH7667 the heartH3820 of manH376 is haughty;And before honorH3519goethhumilityH6038.13He that giveth answer before he heareth,It is follyH200 and shame unto him.14The spiritH7307 of a manH376 will sustainH3557 his infirmity;But a broken spiritH7307 who can bearH5375?15The heartH3820 of the prudent getteth knowledgeH1847;And the earH241 of the wiseH2450 seeketh knowledgeH1847.16A man’sH120 giftH4976 maketh room for him,And bringeth him before greatH1419 menH120.17He that pleadeth his causeH7379 firstH7223 seemeth just;But his neighborH7453 cometh and searcheth him out.18The lotH1486 causeth contentions to ceaseH7673,And parteth between the mightyH6099.19A brotherH251 offendedis harder to be won than a strong city;AndsuchcontentionsH4066 are like the barsH1280 of a castle.
