1 Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.
2 A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.
3 When the wicked cometh, then cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach.
4 The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.
5 It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to overthrow the righteous in judgment.
6 A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.
7 A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.
8 The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
9 He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.
10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
11 The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit.
12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility.
13 He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.
14 The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?
15 The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
16 A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.
17 He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him.
18 The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty.
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
22 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.
23 The poor useth intreaties; but the rich answereth roughly.

Lodebar's Proverbs Chapter 18 comment on 6/20/2023, 2:38pm...
Hello All
Concerning Proverbs 18:21...My mom told me that when I was born, an elder in the family commented, upon looking upon me and reacting to, what she referred to as me looking too angelic. She told my mom, " She didn't come here to stay".
Well eight months later I contracted SPINAL MENIGITUS. My mom had to be very proactive and had to respond to the Holy Spirit's leading; with her working with God, I was saved by her being led to a phone booth in the hallway of that hospital that gave up on me and calling a Private Pediatrician . He told my mom to get me out of that hospital...he ordered an ambulance and saved my life...that was 68 years ago ( Drs. FORREST P. WHITE AND NELSON PAYNE). I believe the words spoken over me by the family member had power to cut my life short. In my life I've had so many up close and personal encounters with God. I ought to write a book detailing them. I've written them in great detail on my I Pad. Peace to everyone
