Proverbs 18:16 Context
14The spirit of a man will sustaine his infirmitie: but a wounded spirit who can beare? 15The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the eare of the wise seeketh knowledge. 16A mans gift maketh roome for him, & bringeth him before great men. 17He that is first in his owne cause, seemeth iust; but his neighbour commeth and searcheth him. 18The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth betweene the mighty.
