Summary

13 If one gives an answer before he hears, it is his folly and shame.14 A man's spirit will endure sickness, but a crushed spirit who can bear?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.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.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.21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.22 He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord.23 The poor use entreaties, but the rich answer roughly.24 A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

Episode Description

13 If one gives an answer before he hears,
it is his folly and shame.
14 A man's spirit will endure sickness,
but a crushed spirit who can bear?
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.
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.
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.
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
and those who love it will eat its fruits.
22 He who finds a wife finds a good thing
and obtains favor from the Lord.
23 The poor use entreaties,
but the rich answer roughly.
24 A man of many companions may come to ruin,
but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
