American King James Version
" He that is first in his own cause seems just; but his neighbor comes and searches him. "
— Proverbs 18:17, American King James Version
The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?
The heart of the prudent gets knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
A man’s gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men.
He that is first in his own cause seems just; but his neighbor comes and searches him.
The lot causes contentions to cease, and parts between the mighty.
A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.
A man’s belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.
