Proverbs 18:17-21

Proverbs 18:17-21 CSB

The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.  Casting the lot  ends quarrels and separates powerful opponents. An offended brother is harder to reach  than a fortified city, and quarrels are like the bars of a fortress. From the fruit of a person’s mouth his stomach is satisfied; he is filled 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.
