Proverbs 18:12-20 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

12. Before destruction the heart of man is proud,but before honour is humility.

13. He who answers before he hears,that is folly and shame to him.

14. A man’s spirit will sustain him in sickness,but a crushed spirit, who can bear?

15. The heart of the discerning gets knowledge.The ear of the wise seeks knowledge.

16. A man’s gift makes room for him,and brings him before great men.

17. He who pleads his cause first seems right;until another comes and questions him.

18. The lot settles disputes,and keeps strong ones apart.

19. A brother offended is more difficult than a fortified city;and disputes are like the bars of a fortress.

20. A man’s stomach is filled with the fruit of his mouth.With the harvest of his lips he is satisfied.
