Proverbs 18:18-20

International Children’s Bible

¹⁸ Throwing lots settles arguments.
    It keeps the two sides from fighting.

¹⁹ A brother who has been insulted is harder to win back than a walled city.
    And arguments separate people like the barred gates of a palace.

²⁰ What you say affects how you live.
    You will be rewarded by how you speak.
