I have An Investment Approach I which I would like to all.
Dear Friends of i3 Forum,
God made this world in 6 days & rested on the 7th Day. So today is a day of rest.
And time to read Proverbs again. Today is Proverbs 18th. God wrote only One Book - The Bible. So let's read!
Proverbs 18 King James Version (KJV)
18 Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.
2 A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.
3 When the wicked cometh, then cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach.
4 The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.
5 It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to overthrow the righteous in judgment.
6 A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.
7 A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.
8 The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
9 He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.
10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
11 The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit.
12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility.
13 He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.
14 The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?
15 The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
16 A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.
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 their contentions are like the bars of a castle.
20 A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
22 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord.
23 The poor useth intreaties; but the rich answereth roughly.
24 A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
Calvin comments:
This Chapter has many good versus.
About the Fool
7 A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.
6 A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.
A fool is recognized by his mouth or lips. He likes to enter into contention all the time. Unfortunately, he is unable to control his own lips and therefore it became a snare to him. It causes him to be quarrelsome. It ends in being punished by strokes & destruction.
About the prudent (wise as opposed to the fool)
15 The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
A wise or prudent person is always learning. And he seeks for knowledge. His heart yearns for knowledge. So his ears are attentive to know wisdom & truth.
This is the way to improve himself & be the very best that he could be in whatever he is doing.

The above is from King James Bible Translation of 1611
Now this one from Amplified Bible
Proverbs 18 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Contrast the Upright and the Wicked
18 He who [willfully] separates himself [from God and man] seeks his own desire,
He quarrels against all sound wisdom.
2
A [closed-minded] fool does not delight in understanding,
But only in revealing his personal opinions [unwittingly displaying his self-indulgence and his stupidity].
3
When the wicked man comes [to the depth of evil], contempt [of all that is pure and good] also comes,
And with inner baseness (dishonor) comes outer shame (scorn).
4
The words of a man’s mouth are like deep waters [copious and difficult to fathom];
The fountain of [mature, godly] wisdom is like a bubbling stream [sparkling, fresh, pure, and life-giving].
5
To show respect to the wicked person is not good,
Nor to push aside and deprive the righteous of justice.
6
A fool’s lips bring contention and strife,
And his mouth invites a beating.
7
A fool’s mouth is his ruin,
And his lips are the snare of his soul.
8
The words of a whisperer (gossip) are like dainty morsels [to be greedily eaten];
They go down into the innermost chambers of the body [to be remembered and mused upon].
9
He who is careless in his work
Is a brother to him who destroys.
10
The name of the Lord is a strong tower;
The righteous runs to it and is safe and set on high [far above evil].
11
The rich man’s wealth is his strong city,
And like a high wall [of protection] in his own imagination andconceit.
12
Before disaster the heart of a man is haughty and filled with self-importance,
But humility comes before honor.
13
He who answers before he hears [the facts]—
It is folly and shame to him.
14
The spirit of a man sustains him in sickness,
But as for a broken spirit, who can bear it?
15
The mind of the prudent [always] acquires knowledge,
And the ear of the wise [always] seeks knowledge.
16
A man’s gift [given in love or courtesy] makes room for him
And brings him before great men.
17
The first one to plead his case seems right,
Until another comes and cross-examines him.
18
a]To cast lots puts an end to quarrels
And decides between powerful contenders.
19
A brother offended is harder to win over than a fortified city,
And contentions [separating families] are like the bars of a castle.
20
A man’s stomach will be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth;
He will be satisfied with the consequence of his words.
21
Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
And those who love it and indulge it will eat its fruit and bear the consequences of their words.
22
He who finds a [b]true and faithful] wife finds a good thing
And obtains favor and approval from the Lord.
23
The poor man pleads,
But the rich man answers roughly.
24
The man of too many friends [chosen indiscriminately] will be broken in pieces and come to ruin,
But there is a [true, loving] friend who [is reliable and] sticks closer than a brother.
And below another very simplified translation from GNB
1People who do not get along with others are interested only in themselves; they will disagree with what everyone else knows is right.
2A fool does not care whether he understands a thing or not; all he wants to do is to show how clever he is.
3Sin and shame go together. Lose your honour, and you will get scorn in its place.
4A person's words can be a source of wisdom, deep as the ocean, fresh as a flowing stream.
5It is not right to favour the guilty and prevent the innocent from receiving justice.
6When some fool starts an argument, he is asking for a beating.
7When a fool speaks, he is ruining himself; he gets caught in the trap of his own words.
8Gossip is so tasty — how we love to swallow it!
9A lazy person is as bad as someone who is destructive.
10The LORD is like a strong tower, where the righteous can go and be safe. 11Rich people, however, imagine that their wealth protects them like high, strong walls round a city.
12No one is respected unless he is humble; arrogant people are on the way to ruin.
13Listen before you answer. If you don't you are being stupid and insulting.
14Your will to live can sustain you when you are sick, but if you lose it, your last hope is gone.
15Intelligent people are always eager and ready to learn.
16Do you want to meet an important person? Take a gift and it will be easy.
17The first to speak in court always seems right until his opponent begins to question him.
18If two powerful men are opposing each other in court, casting lots can settle the issue.
19Help your relatives and they will protect you like a strong city wall,18.19 Some ancient translations Help… wall; Hebrew unclear. but if you quarrel with them, they will close their doors to you.
20You will have to live with the consequences of everything you say. 21What you say can preserve life or destroy it; so you must accept the consequences of your words.
22Find a wife and you find a good thing; it shows that the LORD is good to you.
23When the poor speak, they have to beg politely, but when the rich answer, they are rude.
24Some friendships do18.24 Some ancient translations Some friendships do; Hebrew Someone with friends does. not last, but some friends are more loyal than brothers.
Please note:
The Original Word of God was written in Hebrew & Aramaic (OT) and Greek (New Testament). All other languages be they English, Chinese, Tamil or all others are translations. So GOD wrote only ONE BOOK - THE BIBLE.

For interfaith sake, also try Taoism:
Lao Tzu in Dao De Jing:
Words are like fingers which point to the truth, people in general only see the fingers. They need to see beyond the fingers to find out the truth
Also by him ( more than 2000 years ago ):
The more laws and restrictions there are,
The poorer people become
......
The more rules and regulations,
The more thieves and robbers.
.....
The greater the government's power, the more chaotic the nation would become
......
The more the ruler imposes laws and prohibitions on his people, the more frequently evil deeds would occur.

The words of God can be anything and everywhere,is like everything is jumbled up but it can only be revealed to the one whom it is to be revealed, a continuous learning process and never ending.
