Proverbs 18:21 Context
19A brother offended is harder to be wonne then a strong citie: and their contentions are like the barres of a castle. 20A mans belly shall be satisfied with the fruite of his mouth; and with the increase of his lippes shall he be filled. 21Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and they that loue it shall eate the fruite thereof. 22Who so findeth a wife, findeth a good thing, and obtaineth fauour of the Lord. 23The poore vseth intreaties, but the rich answereth roughly.
