Proverbs 18:18-20

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁸ To cast lots puts an end to disputes and decides between powerful contenders.

¹⁹ A brother offended is harder to be won over than a strong city, and [their] contentions separate them like the bars of a castle.

²⁰ A man’s [moral] self shall be filled with the fruit of his mouth; and with the consequence of his words he must be satisfied [whether good or evil].
