Chapter Eighteen Through desire a man,
having separated himself, seeketh and

00:06.640 --> 00:08.000
intermedleth with all wisdom.

00:08.700 --> 00:13.320
A fool hath no delight in understanding,
but that his heart may discover itself.

00:14.400 --> 00:19.300
When the wicked cometh, then cometh also
contempt, and with ignominy reproach.

00:20.220 --> 00:24.960
The words of a man's mouth are as deep
waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a

00:24.960 --> 00:25.580
flowing brook.

00:25.580 --> 00:30.300
It is not good to accept the person of the
wicked to overthrow the righteous in

00:30.300 --> 00:30.620
judgment.

00:31.900 --> 00:35.860
A fool's lips enter into contention,
and his mouth calleth for strokes.

00:36.980 --> 00:41.440
A fool's mouth is his destruction,
and his lips are the snare of his soul.

00:42.460 --> 00:47.160
The words of a tale-bearer are as wounds,
and they go down into the innermost parts

00:47.160 --> 00:47.620
of the belly.

00:48.760 --> 00:52.920
He also that is slothful in his work is
brother to him that is a great waster.

00:53.780 --> 00:58.220
The name of the Lord is a strong tower,
the righteous runneth into it,

00:58.440 --> 00:59.020
and is safe.

00:59.860 --> 01:05.160
The rich man's wealth is his strong city,
and has an high wall in his own conceit.

01:06.160 --> 01:10.820
Before destruction the heart of man is
haughty, and before honor is humility.

01:12.100 --> 01:16.160
He that answereth a matter before he
heareth it, it is folly and shame unto

01:16.160 --> 01:16.420
him.

01:17.220 --> 01:22.040
The spirit of a man will sustain his
infirmity, but a wounded spirit who can

01:22.040 --> 01:22.380
bear?

01:23.740 --> 01:27.500
The heart of the prudent getteth
knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeketh

01:27.500 --> 01:27.940
knowledge.

01:28.920 --> 01:32.660
A man's gift maketh room for him,
and bringeth him before great men.

01:33.840 --> 01:38.520
He that is first in his own cause seemeth
just, but his neighbor cometh and

01:38.520 --> 01:39.140
searcheth him.

01:40.700 --> 01:44.700
The lot causeth contentions to cease,
and parteth between the mighty.

01:45.560 --> 01:50.540
A brother offended is harder to be won
than a strong city, and their contentions

01:50.540 --> 01:51.900
are like the bars of a castle.

01:53.380 --> 01:57.220
A man's belly shall be satisfied with the
fruit of his mouth, and with the increase

01:57.220 --> 01:58.920
of his lips shall he be filled.

01:59.960 --> 02:04.720
Death and life are in the power of the
tongue, and they that love it shall eat

02:04.720 --> 02:05.840
the fruit thereof.

02:07.060 --> 02:11.460
Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing,
and obtaineth favor of the Lord.

02:11.460 --> 02:16.540
The poor useth entreaties, but the rich
answereth roughly.

02:17.440 --> 02:22.240
A man that hath friends must show himself
friendly, and there is a friend that

02:22.240 --> 02:23.740
sticketh closer than a brother.
