Proverbs 18:18-20

New Century Version

¹⁸ Throwing lots can settle arguments
    and keep 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 People will be rewarded for what they say;
    they will be rewarded by how they speak.
