Proverbs 18:17-19
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
17 The one who first states a case seems right,
until the other comes and cross-examines.
18 Casting the lot puts an end to disputes
and decides between powerful contenders.(A)
19 An ally offended is stronger than a city;[a]
such quarreling is like the bars of a castle.
