18 The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty.
19 A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and such contentions are like the bars of a castle.
20 A man's belly shall be filled with the fruit of his mouth; with the increase of his lips shall he be satisfied.
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
22 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.
23 The poor useth entreaties: but the rich answereth roughly.
24 He that maketh many friends doeth it to his own destruction: but there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
