Proverbs 18
1¶ Whosoever goes astray seeks according to his own lust and shall meddle with every doctrine.
2¶ A fool has no delight in understanding, but in that which his own heart discovers.
3¶ When the wicked comes, then comes also contempt, and with him who dishonours, reproach.
4¶ The words of a man’s mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.
5¶ To respect the person of the wicked so that the righteous loses that which is rightfully his is not good.
6¶ A fool’s lips enter into contention, and his mouth calls for strokes.
7A fool’s mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.
8¶ The words of a talebearer seem smooth, but they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
9¶ He also that is negligent in his work is brother to him that is the great spendthrift.
10¶ The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous shall run into it, and be raised up.
11¶ The rich man’s wealth is his strong city and as a high wall in his imagination.
12¶ Before being broken, the heart of man is haughty, and before coming into honour, comes being brought to humility.
13For him that answers a word before he hears, it is folly and reproach unto him.
14¶ The spirit of man will bear his infirmity, but a broken spirit who can bear?
15¶ The heart of the man of understanding acquires wisdom, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
16¶ A man’s gift makes room for him and brings him before great men.
17¶ The one who is just is first in his cause, his adversary comes and seeks him out.
18¶ The lot causes contentions to cease and decides 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 filled with the fruit of his mouth, and with the product of his lips shall he be filled.
21¶ Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those that love it shall eat its fruit.
22Whosoever found a wife found a good thing and has attained the favour of the Lord.
23¶ The poor uses intreaties, but the rich answer roughly.
24¶ The man that has friends must show himself to be a friend, and there is a friend that sticks closer than a brother.

Since the beginning of time, God communicates with us. For this, the Holy Bible is a very powerful vehicle, since it is the word of the Lord embodied in black on white. As you know, there are several versions of the Holy Scriptures, made in pursuit of a better understanding of the word of the Lord. In the version 'Jubilee Bible ' we find that the chapter 18 of the Proverbs is shown to us in the way that we can see below.

The book Proverbs of the Bible has 31 chapters. And in the chapter 18 we can find 24 verses, in which God reveals his teachings to us and indicates to us through his immense wisdom, love and goodness, the way in which we should act and approach Him.

We have no doubt that reading the chapter 18 of the book Proverbs of the version 'Jubilee Bible ' of the Holy Bible it will be easy for you to understand how our beloved Father never leaves us alone, and that in the texts he left for us it is possible to find all the answers that need. Remember that you can always read the chapter 18 in one of the other versions of the Bible that we have for you, although it is a very interesting exercise that you have now chosen to read the chapter 18 of the version 'Jubilee Bible ' of the Holy Bible.
