all good sense. <\/br><strong>2<\/strong> A foolish man has no pleasure in good sense, but only to let what is in his heart come to light. <\/br><strong>3<\/strong> When the evil-doer comes, a low opinion comes with him, and with the loss of honour comes shame. <\/br><strong>4<\/strong> The words of a man&#8217;s mouth are like deep waters: the fountain of wisdom is like a flowing stream. <\/br><strong>5<\/strong> To have respect for the person of the evil-doer is not good, or to give a wrong decision against the upright. <\/br><strong>6<\/strong> A foolish man&#8217;s lips are a cause of fighting, and his mouth makes him open to blows. <\/br><strong>7<\/strong> The mouth of a foolish man is his destruction, and his lips are a net for his soul. <\/br><strong>8<\/strong> The words of one who says evil of his neighbour secretly are like sweet food, and go down into the inner parts of the stomach. <\/br><strong>9<\/strong> He who does not give his mind to his work is brother to him who makes destruction. <\/br><strong>10<\/strong> The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the upright man running into it is safe. <\/br><strong>11<\/strong> The property of a man of wealth is his strong town, and it is as a high wall in the thoughts of his heart. <\/br><strong>12<\/strong> Before destruction the heart of man is full of pride, and before honour goes a gentle spirit. <\/br><strong>13<\/strong> To give an answer before hearing is a foolish thing and a cause of shame. <\/br><strong>14<\/strong> The spirit of a man will be his support when he is ill; but how may a broken spirit be lifted up? <\/br><strong>15<\/strong> The heart of the man of good sense gets knowledge; the ear of the wise is searching for knowledge. <\/br><strong>16<\/strong> A man&#8217;s offering makes room for him, letting him come before great men. <\/br><strong>17<\/strong> The man who first puts his cause before the judge seems to be in the right; but then his neighbour comes and puts his cause in its true light. <\/br><strong>18<\/strong> The decision of chance puts an end to argument, parting the strong. <\/br><strong>19<\/strong> A brother wounded is like a strong town, and violent acts are like a locked tower. <\/br><strong>20<\/strong> With the fruit of a man&#8217;s mouth his stomach will be full; the produce of his lips will be his in full measure. <\/br><strong>21<\/strong> Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and those to whom it is dear will have its fruit for their food. <\/br><strong>22<\/strong> Whoever gets a wife gets a good thing, and has the approval of the Lord. <\/br><strong>23<\/strong> The poor man makes requests for grace, but the man of wealth gives a rough answer. <\/br><strong>24<\/strong> There are friends who may be a man&#8217;s destruction, but there is a lover who keeps nearer than a brother. <\/br><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    google_ad_client = \"ca-pub-4647651612525789\";\n
