Proverbs 18:20


Proverbs 18:19 Proverbs 18:20 (KJV) Proverbs 18:21
A brother offended [is harder to be won] than a strong city: and [their] contentions [are] like the bars of a castle.
A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; [and] with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.
Death and life [are] in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
