Proverbs 18:19-21

Modern English Version

¹⁹ A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city,
    and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.

²⁰ A man’s stomach will be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth;
    and with the increase of his lips will he be filled.

²¹ Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
    and those who love it will eat its fruit.
