Proverbs 18:18-20

Modern English Version

¹⁸ The lot causes contentions to cease,
    and keeps the mighty ones apart.

¹⁹ A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city,
    and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.

²⁰ A man’s stomach will be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth;
    and with the increase of his lips will he be filled.
