18 The lot causeth contentions to cease, And between the  mighty it separateth.
         
                                
                        19 A brother transgressed against is as a strong city, And  contentions as the bar of a palace.
         
                                
                        20 From the fruit of a man`s mouth is his belly satisfied,  [From the] increase of his lips he is satisfied.
         
                                
                        21 Death and life [are] in the power of the tongue, And those  loving it eat its fruit.
         
                                
                        22 [Whoso] hath found a wife hath found good, And bringeth  out good-will from Jehovah.
         
                                
                        23 [With] supplications doth the poor speak, And the rich  answereth fierce things.
         
                                
                        24 A man with friends [is] to show himself friendly, And  there is a lover adhering more than a brother!
