Proverbs 18:17-19

English Standard Version

¹⁷ The one who states his case first seems right,
    until the other comes and examines him.
^18 (A)The lot puts an end to quarrels
    and decides between powerful contenders.
¹⁹ A brother offended is more unyielding than a strong city,
    and quarreling is like the bars of a castle.
