18The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty.
19A brother offended than a strong city: and contentions like the bars of a castle.
20A man’s belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.
21Death and life in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
22findeth a wife findeth a good and obtaineth favour of the LORD.
23The poor useth intreaties; but the rich answereth roughly.
24A man friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend sticketh closer than a brother.
