Proverbs 18:18-24, 19:1-6

“18:18 The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty. 18:19 A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle. 18:20 A man’s belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. 18:22 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD. 18:23 The poor useth intreaties; but the rich answereth roughly. 18:24 A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. 19:1 Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool. 19:2 Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth. 19:3 The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the LORD. 19:4 Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour. 19:5 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape. 19:6 Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.”
