Proverbs 18 - Easy To Read Version

1 Some people like to do things their own way. They get upset when people give them advice.

2 A foolish person doesn’t want to learn from other people. That person only wants to tell his own ideas.

3 People don’t like an evil person. People make fun of that foolish person.

4 The words of a wise man are like water bubbling up from a deep well—the well of wisdom!

5 \{You must be fair in judging people.\} If you let guilty people go free then you are not being fair to good people.

6 A foolish person causes himself trouble with the things he says. His words can start fights.

7 When a foolish person talks, he ruins himself. His own words trap him.

8 People always want to hear gossip—it is like good food going down into the stomach.

11 Rich people think that their wealth will protect them. They think that it is like a strong fort.

12 A proud person will soon be ruined. But an humble person will be honored.

13 You should let other people finish speaking before you try to answer them. That way you won’t be embarrassed and appear foolish.

15 The wise person always wants to learn more. That person listens closely for more wisdom.

16 If you want to meet an important person, give him a gift. Then you can easily get to meet him.

17 The first person to speak always seems right until someone comes and questions him.

18 If two powerful people are arguing, throwing lots {\cf2\super [25]} may be the best way to decide the argument.

19 If you insult your friend, then he will be harder to win back than a city with strong walls. And arguments separate people like palace gates with strong bars across them.

20 The things you say affect your life. If you say good things, then good things will happen to you. But if you say bad things, then bad things will happen to you.

21 The tongue can speak words that bring life or death. And people who love to talk must be ready to accept what it brings.

22 If you find a wife, then you have found a good thing. She shows that the Lord is happy with you.

23-24 A poor person will beg for help, but a rich person is rude when he answers.
