Proverbs 18:17 BBE

¹⁵  The heart of the man of good sense gets knowledge; the ear of the wise is searching for knowledge.

¹⁶  A man's offering makes room for him, letting him come before great men.

¹⁷  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.

¹⁸  The decision of chance puts an end to argument, parting the strong.

¹⁹  A brother wounded is like a strong town, and violent acts are like a locked tower.
