Proverbs 18:19-21
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 18

19A brother who is offended is harder to be won than a strong city, And quarrels are like the bars of a citadel. 20With the fruit of a person’s mouth his stomach will be satisfied; He will be satisfied with the product of his lips. 21Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.
King James Version

Chapter 18

19A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.
20A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.
21Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 18

19An offended brother is harder to reach than a fortified city, and quarrels are like the bars of a fortress.
20From the fruit of a person’s mouth his stomach is satisfied; he is filled with the product of his lips.
21Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.
New Living Translation

Chapter 18

19An offended friend is harder to win back than a fortified city. Arguments separate friends like a gate locked with bars.
20Wise words satisfy like a good meal; the right words bring satisfaction.
21The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences.
English Standard Version

Chapter 18

19A brother offended is more unyielding than a strong city, and quarreling is like the bars of a castle. 20 From the fruit of a man 's mouth his stomach is satisfied; he is satisfied by the yield of his lips. 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.
New International Version

Chapter 18

19A brother wronged is more unyielding than a fortified city; disputes are like the barred gates of a citadel.
20From the fruit of their mouth a person’s stomach is filled; with the harvest of their lips they are satisfied.
21The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.
New King James Version

Chapter 18

19A brother offended is harder to win than a strong city, And contentions are like the bars of a castle. 20 A man’s stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth; From the produce of his lips he shall be filled. 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.
