(this is a scan from the exact, authentic, original 1611 'HE' King James Bible)
1 Through desire a man hauing separated himselfe, seeketh and intermedleth with all wisedome.
2 A foole hath no delight in vnderstanding, but that his heart may discouer it selfe.
3 When the wicked commeth, then commeth also contempt, and with ignominie, reproch.
4 The words of a mans mouth, are as deepe waters, and the well-spring of wisedome as a flowing brooke.
5 It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to ouerthrowe the righteous in iudgement.
6 A fooles lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.
7 A fooles mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soule.
8 The words of a tale bearer are as wounds, and they goe downe into the innermost parts of the belly.
9 Hee also that is slouthful in his worke, is brother to him that is a great waster.
10 The name of the Lord is a a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
11 The rich mans wealth is his strong citie: and as an high wall in his owne conceit.
12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughtie, and before honour is humilitie.
13 He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame vnto him.
14 The spirit of a man will sustaine his infirmitie: but a wounded spirit who can beare?
15 The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the eare of the wise seeketh knowledge.
16 A mans gift maketh roome for him, & bringeth him before great men.
17 He that is first in his owne cause, seemeth iust; but his neighbour commeth and searcheth him.
18 The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth betweene the mighty.
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and they that loue it shall eate the fruite thereof.
22 Who so findeth a wife, findeth a good thing, and obtaineth fauour of the Lord.
23 The poore vseth intreaties, but the rich answereth roughly.

Suzanne's Proverbs Chapter 18 comment on 5/16/2013, 5:02pm...
VERSE 1---NOT SURE IF I READ THIS CORRECTLY: THROUGH DESIRE--AS IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN-TEMPTATION?? HAVING SEPARATED HIMSELF--DOES THIS MEAN SEPARTING HIMSELF FROM GOD??? SEEKETH AND INTERMEDLETH WITH ALL WISDOM--DOES THIS MEAN HAVING KNOWLEGE OF GOOD AND EVIL?
Vernita Johnson's Proverbs Chapter 18 comment about verse 22 on 5/11/2013, 7:14pm...
This verse states that it's good to be married. Today's emphasis on individual freedom is misguided. Strong individuals are important but strong marriages are too. God created marriage for our enjoyment, and he pronounced it good. So marriage is a good and enjoyable creation of Gods. Check out Gen. 2:21-25, Prov. 5:15-19 and John 2:1-11... so much more knowledge.

The gift here refers to our talents and potentials. When we harness our gift (talents and Potentials), they make us competent to meet greatness. The great always will like to associate with greatness and our talents are great treasures in vessels. Harness your talent for a great tomorrow.

I think that Proverbs 18:24 is more of hands on scripture telling you that brotherhood is good.
SULEAH's Proverbs Chapter 18 comment on 2/26/2013, 2:46pm...
Words are spirit and have powers. So you were created to have dominion by your words. Thus, for a prophetic word, You will eat from the fruit of your lips. You can perceive with your heart and speak with your mouth. It is important for us individual to be swift to hear and slow to speak.
Jesse's Proverbs Chapter 18 comment on 2/20/2013, 4:17pm...
If a man having Earthly friends must show himself friendly to maintain loving relationships; How much more rewarding is it if you show yourself friendly to Jesus in daily fervent and effectual prayer? He is the friend who sticketh closer than a brother; this means He knows you better than your closest relative; and you can show yourself friendly to him by spending time with him in prayer. A little talk with Jesus makes it right. All right!
Uncle Sam's Proverbs Chapter 18 comment about verse 10 on 2/16/2013, 9:29am...
The name is greater than every other names you could ever think of, you can go anywhere you wish, you can turn around the whole world with the name JESUS and be SAFE.
Salomão's Proverbs Chapter 18 comment about verse 22 on 2/15/2013, 9:32pm...
God saw that everything he had done was good. There were peace beauty and harmony! This is what the good God speaks of, so a good wife must or should represent grace for her husband, an undeserved favour. Does she/he love Jesus truly? Does she/he brings peace for you? If yes then you can marry.
