Proverbs 18:17-19

Young's Literal Translation

¹⁷ Righteous [is] the first in his own cause, His neighbour cometh and hath searched him.

¹⁸ The lot causeth contentions to cease, And between the mighty it separateth.

¹⁹ A brother transgressed against is as a strong city, And contentions as the bar of a palace.
