Proverbs 18:21-24

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

²²Whoso hath found a wife hath found happiness, and hath obtained favor from the Lord.

²³The poor speaketh entreatingly; but the rich answereth roughly.

²⁴A man's many companions are hurtful to him; but there is many a friend that cleaveth closer than a brother.
