Proverbs 18:16KJV

14The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?

15The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.

16A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.

17first in his own cause just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him.

18The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty.
