Proverbs 18:17-19
New American Standard Bible 1995
17 The first [a]to plead his case seems right,
Until [b]another comes and examines him.
18 The cast (A)lot puts an end to strife
And [c]decides between the mighty ones.
19 A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city,
And contentions are like the bars of a citadel.
