Proverbs 18:17-21

The first to plead his case seems right, Until another comes and examines him.

The cast lot puts an end to quarrels, And decides between the mighty ones.

A brother who is offended is harder to be won than a strong city, And quarrels are like the bars of a citadel.

With the fruit of a person’s mouth his stomach will be satisfied; He will be satisfied with the product of his lips.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.
