Proverbs 18:17-19
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 18
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.
19
A brother who is offended
is harder to be won
than a strong city,
And quarrels are like the bars of a citadel.
King James Version
Chapter 18
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.
19
A brother offended
is harder to be won
than a strong city: and
their
contentions
are
like the bars of a castle.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 18
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.
19
An offended brother is harder to reach than a fortified city, and quarrels are like the bars of a fortress.
New Living Translation
Chapter 18
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.
19
An offended friend is harder to win back than a fortified city.
Arguments separate friends like a gate locked with bars.
English Standard Version
Chapter 18
17
The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him.
18
The lot puts an end to quarrels and decides between powerful contenders.
19
A brother offended is more unyielding than a strong city, and quarreling is like the bars of a castle.
New International Version
Chapter 18
17
In a lawsuit the first to speak seems right, until someone comes forward and cross-examines.
18
Casting the lot settles disputes and keeps strong opponents apart.
19
A brother wronged is more unyielding than a fortified city; disputes are like the barred gates of a citadel.
New King James Version
Chapter 18
17
The first
one
to plead his cause
seems
right,
Until his neighbor comes and examines him.
18
Casting lots causes contentions to cease,
And keeps the mighty apart.
19
A brother offended
is harder to win
than a strong city,
And contentions
are
like the bars of a castle.
