Proverbs 18:19-21

Lexham English Bible

¹⁹ A brother who is offended is worse than a city of strength,
    and quarrels are like the bars of a fortification.
²⁰ From the fruit of a man’s mouth, his stomach will be satisfied,
    as for the yield of his lips, it will satisfy.
²¹ Death and life are in the power^[a] of the tongue,
    and those who love her^[b] will eat of her fruit.
