Proverbs Chapter 18 - King James Strong Number Version

1: Through desire <H8378> a man, having separated <H6504> himself, seeketh <H1245> [and] intermeddleth <H1566> with all wisdom. <H8454>
2: A fool <H3684> hath no delight <H2654> in understanding, <H8394> but that his heart <H3820> may discover <H1540> itself.
3: When the wicked <H7563> cometh, <H0935> [then] cometh <H0935> also contempt, <H0937> and with ignominy <H7036> reproach. <H2781>
4: The words <H1697> of a man's <H0376> mouth <H6310> [are as] deep <H6013> waters, <H4325> [and] the wellspring <H4726> of wisdom <H2451> [as] a flowing <H5042> brook. <H5158>
5: [It is] not good <H2896> to accept <H5375> the person <H6440> of the wicked, <H7563> to overthrow <H5186> the righteous <H6662> in judgment. <H4941>
6: A fool's <H3684> lips <H8193> enter <H0935> into contention, <H7379> and his mouth <H6310> calleth <H7121> for strokes. <H4112>
7: A fool's <H3684> mouth <H6310> [is] his destruction, <H4288> and his lips <H8193> [are] the snare <H4170> of his soul. <H5315>
8: The words <H1697> of a talebearer <H5372> [are] as wounds, <H3859> and they go down <H3381> into the innermost parts <H2315> of the belly. <H0990>
9: He also that is slothful <H7503> in his work <H4399> is brother <H0251> to him that is a great <H1167> waster. <H7843>
10: The name <H8034> of the LORD <H3068> [is] a strong <H5797> tower: <H4026> the righteous <H6662> runneth <H7323> into it, and is safe. <H7682>
11: The rich <H6223> man's wealth <H1952> [is] his strong <H5797> city, <H7151> and as an high <H7682> wall <H2346> in his own conceit. <H4906>
12: Before <H6440> destruction <H7667> the heart <H3820> of man <H0376> is haughty, <H1361> and before <H6440> honour <H3519> [is] humility. <H6038>
13: He that answereth <H7725> a matter <H1697> before he heareth <H8085> [it], it [is] folly <H0200> and shame <H3639> unto him.
14: The spirit <H7307> of a man <H0376> will sustain <H3557> his infirmity; <H4245> but a wounded <H5218> spirit <H7307> who can bear? <H5375>
15: The heart <H3820> of the prudent <H0995> getteth <H7069> knowledge; <H1847> and the ear <H0241> of the wise <H2450> seeketh <H1245> knowledge. <H1847>
16: A man's <H0120> gift <H4976> maketh room <H7337> for him, and bringeth <H5148> him before <H6440> great men. <H1419>
17: [He that is] first <H7223> in his own cause <H7379> [seemeth] just; <H6662> but his neighbour <H7453> cometh <H0935> and searcheth <H2713> him.
18: The lot <H1486> causeth contentions <H4079> to cease, <H7673> and parteth <H6504> between the mighty. <H6099>
19: A brother <H0251> offended <H6586> [is harder to be won] than a strong <H5797> city: <H7151> and [their] contentions <H4079> <H4066> [are] like the bars <H1280> of a castle. <H0759>
20: A man's <H0376> belly <H0990> shall be satisfied <H7646> with the fruit <H6529> of his mouth; <H6310> [and] with the increase <H8393> of his lips <H8193> shall he be filled. <H7646>
21: Death <H4194> and life <H2416> [are] in the power <H3027> of the tongue: <H3956> and they that love <H0157> it shall eat <H0398> the fruit <H6529> thereof.
22: [Whoso] findeth <H4672> a wife <H0802> findeth <H4672> a good <H2896> [thing], and obtaineth <H6329> favour <H7522> of the LORD. <H3068>
23: The poor <H7326> useth <H1696> intreaties; <H8469> but the rich <H6223> answereth <H6030> roughly. <H5794>
24: A man <H0376> [that hath] friends <H7453> must shew himself friendly: <H7489> and there is <H3426> a friend <H0157> [that] sticketh closer <H1695> than a brother. <H0251>
