Proverbs 18:19-21

International Children’s Bible

¹⁹ A brother who has been insulted is harder to win back than a walled city.
    And arguments separate people like the barred gates of a palace.

²⁰ What you say affects how you live.
    You will be rewarded by how you speak.

²¹ What you say can mean life or death.
    Those who love to talk will be rewarded for what they say.
