PROVERBS 18

V1 The selfish man quarrels against every sound principle of conduct by demanding his own way.

V2 A rebel doesn’t care about the facts.

V3 Sin brings disgrace.

V4 A wise man’s words express deep streams of thought.

V5 It is wrong for a judge to favor the wicked and condemn the innocent.

V6 ,7 A fool gets into constant fights. His mouth is his undoing! His words endanger him.

V8 What dainty morsels rumors are. They are eaten with great relish!

V9 A lazy man is brother to the saboteur.

V 10 The Lord is a strong fortress. The godly run to him are safe.

V 11 The rich man thinks of his wealth as an impregnable defense, a high wall of safety. What a dreamer!

V12 Pride ends in destruction; humility ends in honor.

V13 What a shame – Yes, how stupid! – to decide before knowing the facts!

V 14 A man’s courage can sustain his broken body, but when courage dies, what hope is left?

V 15 The intelligent man is always open to new ideas. In fact, he looks for them.

V 16 A bribe does wonders; it will bring you before men of importance!

V 17 Any story sounds true until someone tells the other side and sets the record straight.

V 18 A coin toss ends arguments and settles disputes between powerful opponents.

V 19 It is harder to win back the friendship of an offended brother that to capture a fortified city. His anger shuts you out like iron bars.

V20 Ability to give wise advice satisfies like a good meal!

V21 Those who love to talk will suffer the consequences. Men have died for saying the wrong thing!


V22 The man who finds a wife finds a good thing; she is a blessing to him from The LORD.

V23 The poor man pleads and the rich man answers with insults.


V24 There are “friends” who pretend to be friends, but there is a friend who sticks than a brother.

If you're going to speak...SPEAK LIFE and not death. The power of life and death lie in the tongue. Speak Life!!!
