Proverbs: Chapter 18 (asv)

Proverbs 18
- 1 He that separateth himself seeketh his own desire, And rageth against all sound wisdom.
- 2 A fool hath no delight in understanding, But only that his heart may reveal itself.
- 3 When the wicked cometh, there cometh also contempt, And with ignominy cometh reproach.
- 4 The words of a man’s mouth areasdeep waters; The wellspring of wisdom is as a flowing brook.
- 5 To respect the person of the wicked is not good, Norto turn aside the righteous in judgment.
- 6 A fool’s lips enter into contention, And his mouth calleth for stripes.
- 7 A fool’s mouth is his destruction, And his lips are the snare of his soul.
- 8 The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, And they go down into the innermost parts.
- 9 He also that is slack in his work Is brother to him that is a destroyer.
- 10 The name of Jehovah is a strong tower; The righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
- 11 The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, And as a high wall in his own imagination.
- 12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty; And before honorgoethhumility.
- 13 He that giveth answer before he heareth, It is folly and shame unto him.
- 14 The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; But a broken spirit who can bear?
- 15 The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; And the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
- 16 A man’s gift maketh room for him, And bringeth him before great men.
- 17 He that pleadeth his cause first seemeth just; But his neighbor cometh and searcheth him out.
- 18 The lot causeth contentions to cease, And parteth between the mighty.
- 19 A brother offendedis harder to be won than a strong city; Andsuchcontentions are like the bars of a castle.
- 20 A man’s belly shall be filled with the fruit of his mouth; With the increase of his lips shall he be satisfied.
- 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue; And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
- 22 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, And obtaineth favor of Jehovah.
- 23 The poor useth entreaties; But the rich answereth roughly.
- 24 He that maketh many friends doeth it to his own destruction; But there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.

The American Standard Version (ASV) of the Holy Bible is in the Public Domain. Please feel free to copy it, give it away, memorize it, publish it, sell it, or whatever God leads you to do with it.

The American Standard Version of 1901 is an Americanization of the English Revised Bible, which is an update of the KJV to less archaic spelling and greater accuracy of translation. It has been called "The Rock of Biblical Honesty." It is the product of the work of over 50 Evangelical Christian scholars.

While the ASV retains many archaic word forms, it is still more understandable to the modern reader than the KJV in many passages. The ASV also forms the basis for several modern English translations, including the World English Bible (http://www.eBible.org/bible/WEB), which is also in the Public Domain. The ASV uses "Jehovah" for Godߴs proper name. While the current consensus is that this Holy Name was more likely pronounced "Yahweh," it is refreshing to see this rendition instead of the overloading of the word "Lord" that the KJV, NASB, and many others do.

Pronouns referring to God are not capitalized in the ASV, as they are not in the NIV and some others, breaking the tradition of the KJV. Since Hebrew has no such thing as tense, and the oldest Greek manuscripts are all upper case, anyway, this tradition was based only on English usage around 1600, anyway. Not capitalizing these pronouns solves some translational problems, such as the coronation psalms, which refer equally well to an earthly king and to God.
