Proverbs
Chapters 18:20-24
New International Version Anglicized
20From the fruit of their mouth a person’s stomach is filled;with the harvest of their lips they are satisfied.
21The tongue has the power of life and death,and those who love it will eat its fruit.
22He who finds a wife finds what is goodand receives favour from the Lord.
23The poor plead for mercy,but the rich answer harshly.
24One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin,but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
