20 A man’s stomach will be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth;and with the increase of his lips will he be filled.
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue,and those who love it will eat its fruit.
22 Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing,and obtains favor of the Lord.
23 The poor man uses entreaties,but the rich man answers roughly.
24 A man who has friends must show himself friendly,and there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
