Proverbs 18:19-23

¹⁹An offended brother is harder to be won than a strong city, and quarreling is like the bars of a castle.

²⁰From the fruit of his mouth one's stomach is filled; with the harvest of his lips he is satisfied.

²¹Death and life are controlled by the tongue, and those who love the tongue will eat its fruit.

²²He who finds a wife finds a good thing and receives favor from Yahweh.

²³A poor person pleads for mercy, but a rich person answers harshly.
