Proverbs 18:19


← Proverbs 18:18 Proverbs 18:19 (KJV) Proverbs 18:20 →
The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty.
A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.
A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.
