Proverbs 18:17

Modern King James Version

The first in his cause seems just, but his neighbor comes and searches him.

See the chapter Copy

And it happened when his master heard the words of his wife which she spoke to him, saying, Your servant did this to me, his wrath was kindled.

If one answers a matter before he hears, it is folly and shame to him.

A man's gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men.

The lot causes arguments to cease, and divides between the mighty.
