잠언 18장 NASB
- 1 He who separates himself seeks his own desire He quarrels against all sound wisdom.
- 2 A fool does not delight in understanding But only in revealing his own mind.
- 3 When a wicked man comes contempt also comes And with dishonor comes scorn.
- 4 The words of a man's mouth are deep waters; The fountain of wisdom is a bubbling brook.
- 5 To show partiality to the wicked is not good Nor to thrust aside the righteous in judgment.
- 6 A fool's lips bring strife And his mouth calls for blows.
- 7 A fool's mouth is his ruin And his lips are the snare of his soul.
- 8 The words of a whisperer are like dainty morsels And they go down into the innermost parts of the body.
- 9 He also who is slack in his work Is brother to him who destroys.
- 10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower; The righteous runs into it and is safe.
- 11 A rich man's wealth is his strong city And like a high wall in his own imagination.
- 12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty But humility goes before honor.
- 13 He who gives an answer before he hears It is folly and shame to him.
- 14 The spirit of a man can endure his sickness But as for a broken spirit who can bear it?
- 15 The mind of the prudent acquires knowledge And the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
- 16 A man's gift makes room for him And brings him before great men.
- 17 The first to plead his case seems right Until another comes and examines him.
- 18 The cast lot puts an end to strife And decides between the mighty ones.
- 19 A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city And contentions are like the bars of a citadel.
- 20 With the fruit of a man's mouth his stomach will be satisfied; He will be satisfied with the product of his lips.
- 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue And those who love it will eat its fruit.
- 22 He who finds a wife finds a good thing And obtains favor from the LORD.
- 23 The poor man utters supplications But the rich man answers roughly.
- 24 A man of too many friends comes to ruin But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
