Proverbs 18:19-21
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
19 An ally offended is stronger than a city;[a]
such quarreling is like the bars of a castle.
20 From the fruit of the mouth one’s stomach is satisfied;
the yield of the lips brings satisfaction.(A)
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
and those who love it will eat its fruits.(B)
