Proverbs
Chapters 18:20-24
Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version
20Your words can be as satisfying as fruit, as pleasing as the food that fills your stomach.
21The tongue can speak words that bring life or death. Those who love to talk must be ready to accept what it brings.
22If you find a wife, you have found something good. She shows that the Lord is happy with you.
23The poor are polite when they beg for help. The rich are rude with their answer.
24Some friends are fun to be with, but a true friend can be better than a brother.
