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 to 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 isfirstH7223 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 offendedH6586is harder to be won than a strongH5797 cityH7151: and their contentionsH4079H4066 are like the barsH1280 of a castleH759.
