Proverbs 18:12-19
12BeforeH6440 destructionH7667 the heartH3820 of manH376 is haughtyH1361, and beforeH6440 honourH3519 is humilityH6038.
13He that answerethH7725 a matterH1697 before he hearethH8085 it, it is follyH200 and shameH3639 unto him.1
14The spiritH7307 of a manH376 will sustainH3557 his infirmityH4245; but a woundedH5218 spiritH7307 who can bearH5375?
15The heartH3820 of the prudentH995 gettethH7069 knowledgeH1847; and the earH241 of the wiseH2450 seekethH1245 knowledgeH1847.
16A man’sH120 giftH4976 maketh roomH7337 for him, and bringethH5148 him beforeH6440 great menH1419.
17He that is firstH7223 in his own causeH7379 seemeth justH6662; but his neighbourH7453 comethH935 and searchethH2713 him.
18The lotH1486 causeth contentionsH4079 to ceaseH7673, and partethH6504 between the mightyH6099.
19A brotherH251 offendedH6586 is harder to be won than a strongH5797 cityH7151: and their contentionsH4066H4079 are like the barsH1280 of a castleH759.
