Proverbs 18:18-20

New Catholic Bible

¹⁸ Casting lots^[a] can settle disputes
    and avoid contention between powerful rivals.
¹⁹ An offended brother is stronger than a fortress,
    and quarrels are more difficult to overcome than castle gates.
²⁰ From the fruit of the mouth one’s stomach is filled;
    contentment is gained from the yield of one’s lips.
