14 The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity;but a wounded 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 is first in his own cause seemeth just;but his neighbor cometh and searcheth him.
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.
