12 1Before destruction a man's heart is haughty, but 2humility comes before honor.
13 If one gives an answer 3before he hears, it is his folly and shame.
14 A man's spirit will endure sickness, but 4a crushed spirit who can bear?
15 An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
16 A man's 5gift makes room for him and brings him before the great.
17 The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him.
18 6The lot puts an end to quarrels and decides between powerful contenders.
19 A brother offended is more unyielding than a strong city, and quarreling is like the bars of a castle.
20 7From the fruit of a man's mouth his stomach is satisfied; he is satisfied by the yield of his lips.
21 8Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.
22 He who finds 9a wife finds 10a good thing and 11obtains favor 12from the LORD.
