Proverbs 18:19-21

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁹ If you insult a relative,
    it will be difficult to become friends with him again.
Arguments keep people apart,
    like the walls of a strong city.
²⁰ If you speak words that help people,
    they are like good food.
²¹ Words have the power to bring life or death.
    So be careful if you talk a lot!
