Proverbs 18:1

Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.

An unfriendly man pursues selfishness, And defies all sound judgment.

He that separateth himself seeketh `his own' desire, And rageth against all sound wisdom.

For `an object of' desire he who is separated doth seek, With all wisdom he intermeddleth.

He who isolates himself pursues selfish desires; he rebels against all sound judgment.
