Proverbs 18:12-19

12Before destructionH7667 the heartH3820 of manH376 is haughty; and before honour [goeth] humilityH6038.

13He that giveth answer before he heareth, it is follyH200 and shame unto him.

14The spiritH7307 of a manH376 sustaineth his infirmity; but a broken spiritH7307 who can bearH5375?

15The heartH3820 of an intelligent [man] getteth knowledgeH1847, and the earH241 of the wiseH2450 seeketh knowledgeH1847.

16A man's giftH4976 maketh room for him, and bringeth him before greatH1419 menH120.

17He that is firstH7223 in his own causeH7379 [seemeth] just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him.

18The lotH1486 causeth contentions to ceaseH7673, and parteth between the mightyH6099.

19A brotherH251 offended is [harder to be won] than a strong city; and contentionsH4066 are as the barsH1280 of a palace.
