Proverbs 18:1-2, 6-8, 11, 20-21, 24

Proverbs 18:1-2 NKJV

A man who isolates himself seeks his own desire; He rages against all wise judgment. A fool has no delight in understanding, But in expressing his own heart.

Proverbs 18:6-8 NKJV

A fool’s lips enter into contention, And his mouth calls for blows. A fool’s mouth is his destruction, And his lips are the snare of his soul. The words of a talebearer are like tasty trifles, And they go down into the inmost body.

Proverbs 18:11 NKJV

The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, And like a high wall in his own esteem.

Proverbs 18:20-21 NKJV

A man’s stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth; From the produce of his lips he shall be filled. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.

Proverbs 18:24 NKJV

A man who has friends must himself be friendly, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
