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. 20:018:021 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. 20:018:022 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD. 20:018:023 The poor useth intreaties; but the rich answereth roughly. 20:018:024 A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. 20:019:001 Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool. 20:019:002 Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth. 20:019:003 The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the LORD. 20:019:004 Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour. 20:019:005 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape. 20:019:006 Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts. 20:019:007 All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him. 20:019:008 He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good. 20:019:009 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish. 20:019:010 Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes. 20:019:011 The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression. 20:019:012 The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass. 20:019:013 A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping. 20:019:014 House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD. 20:019:015 Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger. 20:019:016 He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die. 20:019:017 He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.
