“Death and life are in the power of the tongue;those who love it will eat its fruit.”
Proverbs 18:21 (WEB)
Context Reading
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. 22Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing,and obtains favor of Yahweh. 23The poor plead for mercy,but the rich answer harshly.
