Proverbs 18:16

Penger og rikdom

14 The spirit of a man can endure his sickness, but who can survive a broken spirit?

15 The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks it out.

A man’s gift opens doors for him, and brings him before great men.

17 The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

18 Casting the lot ends quarrels and separates strong opponents.
