Proverbs 18:12-19

12BeforeH6440 his downfallH7667 a man’sH376 heartH3820 is proudH1361, but humilityH6038 comes beforeH6440 honorH3519.

13He who answersH7725 a matterH1697 beforeH2962 he hearsH8085 it—thisH1931 is follyH200 and disgraceH3639 to him.
14The spiritH7307 of a manH376 can endureH3557 his sicknessH4245,but whoH4310 can surviveH5375 a brokenH5218 spiritH7307?
15The heartH3820 of the discerningH995 acquiresH7069 knowledgeH1847,and the earH241 of the wiseH2450 seeksH1245 it outH1847.
16A man’sH120 giftH4976 opens doorsH7337 for him,and brings himH5148 beforeH6440 great menH1419.
17The firstH7223 to state his caseH7379 seems rightH6662until anotherH7453 comesH935 and cross-examines himH2713.
18Casting the lotH1486H996 endsH7673 quarrelsH4079and separatesH6504 strong opponentsH6099.
19An offendedH6586 brotherH251 is harder to win than a fortifiedH5797 cityH7151,and disputesH4066 are like the barsH1280 of a castleH759.
