Przypowieści Salomona 18 | Słowo Życia

English Standard Version

1 Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire; he breaks out against all sound judgment. (Jud 1,19) 2 A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion. (Przyp 13,16; Kazn 10,3) 3 When wickedness comes, contempt comes also, and with dishonor comes disgrace. 4 The words of a man’s mouth are deep waters; the fountain of wisdom is a bubbling brook. (Przyp 20,5) 5 It is not good to be partial to^[1] the wicked or to deprive the righteous of justice. (Kpł 19,15; Pwt 1,17; Ps 82,2; Przyp 17,15; Przyp 24,23; Przyp 28,21)

6 A fool’s lips walk into a fight, and his mouth invites a beating. (Przyp 19,29) 7 A fool’s mouth is his ruin, and his lips are a snare to his soul. (Ps 64,8; Ps 140,9; Przyp 10,14; Przyp 12,13; Przyp 13,3; Kazn 10,12)

8 The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels; they go down into the inner parts of the body. (Przyp 16,28; Przyp 20,27; Przyp 26,22) 9 Whoever is slack in his work is a brother to him who destroys. (Przyp 28,24) 10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe. (Wj 34,5; Ps 18,2; Ps 20,1; Ps 61,3)

11 A rich man’s wealth is his strong city, and like a high wall in his imagination. (Przyp 10,15) 12 Before destruction a man’s heart is haughty, but humility comes before honor. (Przyp 11,2; Przyp 15,33) 13 If one gives an answer before he hears, it is his folly and shame. (Jan 7,51) 14 A man’s spirit will endure sickness, but a crushed spirit who can bear? (Przyp 15,13) 15 An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge. 16 A man’s gift makes room for him and brings him before the great. (Rdz 32,20; 1 Sm 17,8; 1 Sm 25,27) 17 The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him. 18 The lot puts an end to quarrels and decides between powerful contenders. (Przyp 16,33) 19 A brother offended is more unyielding than a strong city, and quarreling is like the bars of a castle. 20 From the fruit of a man’s mouth his stomach is satisfied; he is satisfied by the yield of his lips. (Przyp 12,14) 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits. (Mt 4,23; Mt 12,13; Mt 12,36; Mt 12,37)

23 The poor use entreaties, but the rich answer roughly. (Jk 2,3; Jk 2,6) 24 A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. (Przyp 17,17)
