Proverbs 18:19-21
New American Standard Bible 1995
19 A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city,
And contentions are like the bars of a citadel.
20 With the [a](A)fruit of a man’s mouth his stomach will be satisfied;
(B)He will be satisfied with the product of his lips.
21 (C)Death and life are in the [b]power of the tongue,
And those who love it will eat its (D)fruit.

Proverbs 18:19-21
New International Version
19 A brother wronged(A) is more unyielding than a fortified city;
disputes are like the barred gates of a citadel.
20 From the fruit of their mouth a person’s stomach is filled;
with the harvest of their lips they are satisfied.(B)
