Proverbs 18:10-18
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 18
10
The name of the
Lord
is a strong tower;
The righteous runs into it and is safe.
11
A rich person’s wealth is his strong city,
And like a high wall in his own imagination.
12
Before destruction the heart of a person is haughty,
But humility
goes
before honor.
13
One who gives an answer before he hears,
It is foolishness and shame to him.
14
The spirit of a person can endure his sickness,
But
as for
a broken spirit, who can endure it?
15
The mind of the discerning acquires knowledge,
And the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
16
A person’s gift makes room for him
And brings him before great people.
17
The first to plead his case
seems
right,
Until
another comes and examines him.
18
The
cast
lot puts an end to quarrels,
And decides between the mighty ones.
King James Version
Chapter 18
10
The name of the
Lord
is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
11
The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit.
12
Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility.
13
He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.
14
The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?
15
The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
16
A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.
17
He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him.
18
The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 18
10
The name of the
Lord
is a strong tower;
the righteous run to it and are protected.
11
The wealth of the rich is his fortified city;
in his imagination it is like a high wall.
12
Before his downfall a person’s heart is proud,
but humility comes before honor.
13
The one who gives an answer before he listens—
this is foolishness and disgrace for him.
14
A person’s spirit can endure sickness,
but who can survive a broken spirit?
15
The mind of the discerning acquires knowledge,
and the ear of the wise seeks it.
16
A person’s gift opens doors for him
and brings him before the great.
17
The first to state his case seems right
until another comes and cross-examines him.
18
Casting the lot ends quarrels
and separates powerful opponents.
New Living Translation
Chapter 18
10
The name of the
Lord
is a strong fortress;
the godly run to him and are safe.
11
The rich think of their wealth as a strong defense;
they imagine it to be a high wall of safety.
12
Haughtiness goes before destruction;
humility precedes honor.
13
Spouting off before listening to the facts
is both shameful and foolish.
14
The human spirit can endure a sick body,
but who can bear a crushed spirit?
15
Intelligent people are always ready to learn.
Their ears are open for knowledge.
16
Giving a gift can open doors;
it gives access to important people!
17
The first to speak in court sounds right —
until the cross-examination begins.
18
Flipping a coin can end arguments;
it settles disputes between powerful opponents.
English Standard Version
