18:2 A fool has no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.
18:3 When the wicked comes, then comes also contempt, and with dishonour reproach.
18:4 The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.
18:5 It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to overthrow the righteous in judgment.
18:6 A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calls for strokes.
18:7 A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.

18:17 He that is first in his own cause seems just; but his neighbour comes and searches him.
18:18 The lot causes contentions to cease, and parts between the mighty.
18:19 A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.
18:20 A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.
18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
18:22 Whoso finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favour of the LORD.
18:23 The poor uses entreaties; but the rich answers roughly.
