Proverbs
Chapters 18:19-24
American Standard Version
19A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city; And such contentions are like the bars of a castle.
20A man’s belly shall be filled with the fruit of his mouth; With the increase of his lips shall he be satisfied.
21Death and life are in the power of the tongue; And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
22Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, And obtaineth favor of Jehovah.
23The poor useth entreaties; But the rich answereth roughly.
24He that maketh many friends doeth it to his own destruction; But there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
