Proverbs 18:15


Proverbs 18:14 Proverbs 18:15 (KJV) Proverbs 18:16
The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?
The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.
