Proverbs 18:19-21

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁹ A brother who has been wronged is harder to regain than a strong city,
and disputes are like a bar across the gate of a citadel.
²⁰ From the fruit of a man’s mouth, his stomach is satisfied.
He is satisfied with the harvest of his lips.
²¹ Life and death lie in the power of a tongue,
and those who love to use it will eat its fruit.
