Proverbs 18:19-21

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁹A brother that is helped by his brother, is like a strong city: and judgments are like the bars of cities.

²⁰Of the fruit of a man's mouth shall his belly be satisfied: and the offspring of his lips shall fill him.

²¹Death and life are in the power of the tongue: they that love it, shall eat the fruits thereof.

Proverbs 18:19-21

New International Version

¹⁹A brother wronged^(A) is more unyielding than a fortified city;
disputes are like the barred gates of a citadel.

²⁰From the fruit of their mouth a person’s stomach is filled;
with the harvest of their lips they are satisfied.^(B)

²¹The tongue has the power of life and death,^(C)
and those who love it will eat its fruit.^(D)
