Proverbs 18:16-24

JuliaSmith(i) 16 The gift of a man will enlarge to him, and shall conduct him before the great 17 The first one just in his cause; his neighbor will come and search him. 18 The lot will cause contentions to cease, and will separate between the strong, 19 A brother falling away, above a city of strength; and strifes as the bars of a fortress. 20 From the fruit of a man's mouth his belly shall be filled; and he shall be filled with the increase of his lips. 21 Death and life in the hand of the tongue: and they loving it shall eat its fruit 22 He finding a wife found good, and shall obtain acceptance from Jehovah. 23 The poor one will speak supplications; and the rich one will answer with vehemence. 24 A man of friends for making friendship: and there is love attaching more than a brother.
