Proverbs 18

18He who separates himself seeks [his own] desire, He quarrels against all sound wisdom.H8378H6504H1245H1566H84542A fool does not delight in understanding, But only in revealing his own mind.H3684H2654H8394H3820H15403When a wicked man comes, contempt also comes, And with dishonor [comes] reproach.H7563H935H935H937H7036H27814The words of a man's mouth are deep waters; The fountain of wisdom is a bubbling brook.H1697H376H6310H6013H4325H4726H2451H5042H51585To show partiality to the wicked is not good, [Nor] to thrust aside the righteous in judgment.H2896H5375H6440H7563H5186H6662H49416A fool's lips bring strife, And his mouth calls for blows.H3684H8193H935H7379H6310H7121H41127A fool's mouth is his ruin, And his lips are the snare of his soul.H3684H6310H4288H8193H4170H53158The words of a whisperer are like dainty morsels, And they go down into the innermost parts of the body.H1697H5372H3859H3381H2315H9909He also who is slack in his work Is brother to him who destroys.H7503H4399H251H1167H784310The name of the LORD is a strong tower; The righteous runs into it and is safe.H8034H3068H5797H4026H6662H7323H768211A rich man's wealth is his strong city, And like a high wall in his own imagination.H6223H1952H5797H7151H7682H2346H490612Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, But humility [goes] before honor.H6440H7667H3820H376H1361H6440H3519H603813He who gives an answer before he hears, It is folly and shame to him.H7725H1697H8085H200H363914The spirit of a man can endure his sickness, But a broken spirit who can bear?H7307H376H3557H4245H5218H7307H537515The mind of the prudent acquires knowledge, And the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.H3820H995H7069H1847H241H2450H1245H184716A man's gift makes room for him, And brings him before great men.H120H4976H7337H5148H6440H141917The first to plead his case [seems] just, [Until] another comes and examines him.H7223H7379H6662H7453H935H935H271318The lot puts an end to contentions, And decides between the mighty.H1486H4079H7673H6504H609919A brother offended [is harder to be won] than a strong city, And contentions are like the bars of a castle.H251H6586H5797H7151H4079H4066H1280H75920With the fruit of a man's mouth his stomach will be satisfied; He will be satisfied [with] the product of his lips.H376H990H7646H6529H6310H8393H8193H764621Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.H4194H2416H3027H3956H157H398H652922He who finds a wife finds a good thing, And obtains favor from the LORD.H4672H802H4672H2896H6329H7522H306823The poor man utters supplications, But the rich man answers roughly.H7326H1696H8469H6223H6030H579424A man of [many] friends [comes] to ruin, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.H376H7453H7489H3426H157H1695H251

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
