Proverbs 18:17-21
English Standard Version
17 The one who states his case first seems right,
until the other comes and examines him.
18 (A)The lot puts an end to quarrels
and decides between powerful contenders.
19 A brother offended is more unyielding than a strong city,
and quarreling is like the bars of a castle.
20 (B)From the fruit of a man's mouth his stomach is satisfied;
he is satisfied by the yield of his lips.
21 (C)Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
and those who love it will eat its fruits.
