Proverbs 18:20

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

Make your words good— you will be glad you did.

See the chapter Copy

You will be well rewarded for saying something kind, but all some people think about is how to be cruel and mean.

You harvest what you plant, whether good or bad.

Making up with a friend you have offended is harder than breaking through a city wall.

You will be glad that you know these sayings and can recite them.

You can trust them completely to give you the right words for those in charge of you.
