Proverbs 18:20

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021

From the fruit of the mouth one’s stomach is satisfied; the yield of the lips brings satisfaction.

See the chapter Copy

From the fruit of their words good persons eat good things, but the desire of the treacherous is for wrongdoing.

The perverse get what their ways deserve, and the good, what their deeds deserve.

An ally offended is stronger than a city; such quarreling is like the bars of a castle.

for it will be pleasant if you keep them within you, if all of them are ready on your lips.

to show you what is right and true, so that you may give a true answer to those who sent you?
