Proverbs 18:12-22a in American Standard Version (1901)

12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty; And before honor goeth humility.
13 He that giveth answer before he heareth, It is folly and shame unto him.
14 The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; But a broken 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 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.
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 favor of Jehovah.
Proverbs 18 in American Standard Version (1901)

14 A wise servant calms a man's anger; but who can endure a faint-hearted man?
15 The heart of the sensible man purchases discretion; and the ears of the wise seek understanding.
16 A man's gift enlarges him, and seats him among princes.
17 A righteous man accuses himself at the beginning of his speech, but when he has entered upon the attack, the adversary is reproved.
18 A silent man quells strifes, and determines between great powers.
19 A brother helped by a brother is as a strong and high city; and is as strong as a well-founded palace.
20 A man fills his belly with the fruits of his mouth; and he shall be satisfied with the fruits of his lips.
21 Life and death are in the power of the tongue; and they that rule it shall eat the fruits thereof.

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 their contentions are like the bars of a castle.
20 A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit of it.
22 Whoever findeth a wife findeth a good thing , and obtaineth favor from the LORD.
Proverbs 18 in Noah Webster Bible

Proverbs 18:12-22a in World Messianic Bible

12 Before destruction the heart of man is proud, but before honor is humility.
13 He who answers before he hears, that is folly and shame to him.
14 A man’s spirit will sustain him in sickness, but a crushed spirit, who can bear?
15 The heart of the discerning gets knowledge. The ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
16 A man’s gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men.
17 He who pleads his cause first seems right— until another comes and questions him.
18 The lot settles disputes, and keeps strong ones apart.
19 A brother offended is more difficult than a fortified city. Disputes are like the bars of a fortress.
20 A man’s stomach is filled with the fruit of his mouth. With the harvest of his lips he is satisfied.
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue; those who love it will eat its fruit.
22 Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of the LORD.

Proverbs 18:12-22a in Wycliffe's Bible with Modern Spelling

12 The heart of man is enhanced, before that it be broken; and it is made meek, before that it be glorified.
13 He that answereth before that he heareth, showeth himself to be a fool; and worthy of shame.
14 The spirit of a man sustaineth his feebleness; but who may sustain a spirit light to be wroth?
15 The heart of a prudent man shall hold steadfastly knowing; and the ear of wise men seeketh teaching.
16 The gift of a man alargeth his way; and maketh space to him before princes.
17 A just or rightwise man is the first accuser of himself; his friend cometh, and shall search him.
18 Lot ceaseth against-sayings; and deemeth also among mighty men.
19 A brother that is helped of a brother, is as a steadfast city; and the dooms be as the bars of cities.
20 A man’s womb shall be ful filled of the fruit of his mouth; and the seeds of his lips shall fill him.
21 Death and life be in the works of the tongue; they that love it, shall eat the fruits thereof.
22 He that findeth a good woman, findeth a good thing; and of the Lord he shall draw up mirth. He that putteth away a good woman, putteth away a good thing; but he that holdeth an adulteress, is a fool and unwise.

Proverbs 18:12-22a in Wycliffe's Bible with Modern Spelling (Enhanced)

12 The heart of man is enhanced, before that it be broken; and it is made meek, before that it be glorified. (A person’s heart is raised upin pride, before that it is broken; and it is humbled, before that it is glorified.)
13 He that answereth before that he heareth, showeth himself to be a fool; and worthy of shame.
14 The spirit of a man sustaineth (him in) his feebleness; but who may sustain a spirit light to be wroth? (A person’s spirit can sustain him in sickness; but who can endure with a broken spirit?)
15 The heart of a prudent man shall hold steadfastly knowing; and the ear of wise men seeketh teaching. (The heart of a person with understanding shall steadfastly hold onto knowledge; and the ears of the wise seek out teaching, or instruction.)
16 The gift of a man alargeth his way; and maketh space to him before princes. (Giving a gift openeth, (or smootheth), one’s way; and maketh an opening for thee among the leaders, (or among the powerful).)
17 A just man is the first accuser of himself; his friend cometh, and shall search him. (He who is the first to speak for a cause seemeth right; but then his opponent shall come, and shall search him out.)
18 Lot ceaseth against-sayings; and deemeth also among mighty men. (Casting lots ceaseth arguments; and also judgeth, or decideth, among the mighty.)
19 A brother that is helped of a brother, is as a steadfast city; and the dooms be as the bars of cities. (A brother helped by a brother, is like protection from the wall of a steadfast city; but arguments be like the bars of a city, preventing entry.)
20 A man’s womb shall be ful filled of the fruit of his mouth (or A man’s belly shall be fulfilled,or satisfied, by the fruit of his mouth); and the seeds of his lips shall fill him.
21 Death and life be in the works of the tongue; they that love it, shall eat the fruits thereof, (or they who nurture it, shall eat its fruits).
22 He that findeth a good woman, findeth a good thing; and of the Lord he shall draw up mirth (or and he receiveth favour from the Lord). He that putteth away a good woman, putteth away a good thing; but he that holdeth (onto an) adulteress, is a fool and unwise.

Proverbs 18:12-22a in Young's Literal Translation

12 Before destruction the heart of man is high, And before honour is humility.
13 Whoso is answering a matter before he heareth, Folly it is to him and shame.
14 The spirit of a man sustaineth his sickness, And a smitten spirit who doth bear?
15 The heart of the intelligent getteth knowledge, And the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
16 The gift of a man maketh room for him, And before the great it leadeth him.
17 Righteous is the first in his own cause, His neighbour cometh and hath searched him.
18 The lot causeth contentions to cease, And between the mighty it separateth.
19 A brother transgressed against is as a strong city, And contentions as the bar of a palace.
20 From the fruit of a man's mouth is his belly satisfied, From the increase of his lips he is satisfied.
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those loving it eat its fruit.
22 Whoso hath found a wife hath found good, And bringeth out good-will from Jehovah.
