20:018:011 The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit.
20:018:012 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility.
20:018:013 He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.
20:018:014 The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?
20:018:015 The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
20:018:016 A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.
20:018:017 He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him.
20:018:018 The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty.
20:018:019 A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.
20:018:020 A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.
