Context Reading
17He who pleads his cause first seems right — until another comes and questions him. 18The lot settles disputes,and keeps strong ones apart. 19A brother offended is more difficult than a fortified city.Disputes are like the bars of a fortress. 20A man’s stomach is filled with the fruit of his mouth.With the harvest of his lips he is satisfied. 21Death and life are in the power of the tongue;those who love it will eat its fruit.
