Proverbs 18:16-20

¹⁶A man's gift enlarges him, and seats him among princes.

¹⁷A righteous man accuses himself at the beginning of his speech, but when he has entered upon the attack, the adversary is reproved.

¹⁸A silent man quells strifes, and determines between great powers.

¹⁹A brother helped by a brother is as a strong and high city; and is as strong as a well-founded palace.

²⁰A man fills his belly with the fruits of his mouth; and he shall be satisfied with the fruits of his lips.
