King James Version with Apocrypha
"Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom."
— Proverbs 18:1, King James Version with Apocrypha
“Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.”
“He that separateth himself seeketh his own desire, And rageth against all sound wisdom. ”
“An unfriendly man pursues selfishness, and defies all sound judgment.”
“One who has isolated himself seeks his own desires; he rejects all sound judgment.”
“He that hath a mind to depart from a friend, seeketh occasions: he shall ever be subject to reproach.”
“He who keeps himself separate for his private purpose goes against all good sense.”
Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.
A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.
When the wicked cometh, then cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach.
The words of a man’s mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.
