Proverbs 18:17-19

Darby Translation

¹⁷ He that is first in his own cause [seemeth] just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him.

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

¹⁹ A brother offended is [harder to be won] than a strong city; and contentions are as the bars of a palace.
