Proverbs 18:14-18 New Living Translation (NLT)

14. The human spirit can endure a sick body,but who can bear a crushed spirit?

15. Intelligent people are always ready to learn.Their ears are open for knowledge.

16. Giving a gift can open doors;it gives access to important people!

17. The first to speak in court sounds right—until the cross-examination begins.

18. Flipping a coin can end arguments;it settles disputes between powerful opponents.
