Proverbs 18:17-19

Lexham English Bible

¹⁷ The first in his dispute is deemed righteous,
    but his neighbor will come and examine him.
¹⁸ The lot will put an end to disputes,
    and between powerful contenders it will decide.
¹⁹ A brother who is offended is worse than a city of strength,
    and quarrels are like the bars of a fortification.
