16 A man's gift maketh room for him, And bringeth him before great men.
17 He that pleadeth his cause first 'seemeth' just; But his neighbor cometh and searcheth him out.
18 The lot causeth contentions to cease, And parteth between the mighty.
19 A brother offended 'is harder to be won' than a strong city; And 'such' contentions are like the bars of a castle.
20 A man's belly shall be filled with the fruit of his mouth; With the increase of his lips shall he be satisfied.
