22He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the LORD.
Focused Passage
Proverbs 18:22
The Power of Words: Isolation, Pride, Justice, Friendship, and the Name of the LORD
The chapter moves from isolation and foolish speech, to justice and gossip, to true refuge in the LORD contrasted with false wealth-security, to listening and knowledge, to disputes and the tongue's power, and finally to marriage, poverty, and faithful friendship.
