Proverbs 18:18 BBE

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.

²⁰  With the fruit of a man's mouth his stomach will be full; the produce of his lips will be his in full measure.
