Proverbs 18:17-19

International Standard Version

¹⁷ The first to put forth his case seems right,
    until someone else steps forward and cross-examines him.

¹⁸ Casting dice settles a dispute,
    deciding between strong contenders.

¹⁹ An offended brother is more unyielding than a fortified city,
    and his disputes are like the bars of a fortress.
