Proverbs 18:20

New Century Version

People will be rewarded for what they say; they will be rewarded by how they speak.

See the chapter Copy

People will be rewarded for what they say, but those who can’t be trusted want only violence.

Evil people will be paid back for their evil ways, and good people will be rewarded for their good ones.

A brother who has been insulted is harder to win back than a walled city, and arguments separate people like the barred gates of a palace.

It will be good to keep these things in mind so that you are ready to repeat them.

I am teaching you true and reliable words so that you can give true answers to anyone who asks.
