Proverbs 18:20


← Proverbs 18:19 Proverbs 18:20 (KJV) Proverbs 18:21 →
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.
Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
