Proverbs 18:19-24

Listen to Proverbs 18:19-24

19 A brother offended [is harder to be won] than a strong city; And [such] contentions are like the bars of a castle.

20 A man's belly shall be filled with the fruit of his mouth; With the increase of his lips shall he be satisfied.

21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue; And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

22 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, And obtaineth favor of Jehovah.

23 The poor useth entreaties; But the rich answereth roughly.

24 He that maketh many friends [doeth it] to his own destruction; But there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
