Proverbs 18:12-19

12Before his downfall a man’s heart is proud, but humility comes before honor.

13He who answers a matter before he hears it—this is folly and disgrace to him.
14The spirit of a man can endure his sickness,but who can survive a broken spirit?
15The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge,and the ear of the wise seeks it out.
16A man’s gift opens doors for him,and brings him before great men.
17The first to state his case seems rightuntil another comes and cross-examines him.
18Casting the lot ends quarrelsand separates strong opponents.
19An offended brother is harder to win than a fortified city,and disputes are like the bars of a castle.
