Proverbs 18:12-19

12BeforeH6440 destructionH7667 the heartH3820 of manH376 is haughty, and beforeH6440 honour goeth humilityH6038.

13He that giveth answerH7725 beforeH2962 he heareth, it is follyH200 and shameH3639 unto him.

14The spiritH7307 of a manH376 will sustainH3557 his infirmity; but a broken spiritH7307 who canH4310 bearH5375?

15The heartH3820 of the prudentH995 getteth knowledgeH1847; and the earH241 of the wiseH2450 seeketh knowledgeH1847.

16A man’sH120 giftH4976 maketh roomH7337 for him, and bringeth him beforeH6440 greatH1419 menH120.

17He that pleadeth his causeH7379 firstH7223 seemeth justH6662; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him outH2713.

18The lotH1486 causeth contentions to ceaseH7673, and parteth betweenH996 the mightyH6099.

19A brotherH251 offendedH6586 is harder to be won than a strongH5797 cityH7151: and such contentionsH4066 are like the barsH1280 of a castleH759.
