A gift opens doors for a man and brings him before the great.
17
The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
18
[Casting] the lot ends quarrels and separates powerful opponents.
19
An offended brother is [harder to reach] than a fortified city, and quarrels are like the bars of a fortress.
20
From the fruit of his mouth a man's stomach is satisfied; he is filled with the product of his lips.
21
Life and death are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.
22
A man who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the LORD.
23
The poor man pleads, but the rich one answers roughly.
24
A man with many friends may be harmed, but there is a friend who stays closer than a brother.
