Proverbs 18:21-23
Amplified Bible
21
Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
And those who love it and indulge it will eat its fruit and bear the consequences of their words.(A)
22
He who finds a [[a]true and faithful] wife finds a good thing
And obtains favor and approval from the Lord.(B)
23
The poor man pleads,
But the rich man answers roughly.
Footnotes
- Proverbs 18:22 In Jewish tradition it is said that in Israel, they used to ask a man who had married, “Matsa or motse?” “Matsa” is the Hebrew for “finds” here, where a good wife is in view, and “motse” is the word for “found” (NASB “discovered”) in Eccl 7:26.
