Proverbs 18:17-24
Christian Standard Bible
17 The first to state his case seems right
until another comes and cross-examines him.(A)
18 Casting the lot(B) ends quarrels
and separates powerful opponents.
19 An offended brother is harder to reach[a]
than a fortified city,
and quarrels are like the bars of a fortress.
20 From the fruit of a person’s mouth his stomach is satisfied;
he is filled with the product of his lips.(C)
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
and those who love it will eat its fruit.(D)
