18 Casting a lot suppresses contentions and passes judgment, even among the powerful.
19 A brother who is helped by a brother is like a reinforced city, and judgments are like the bars of cities.
20 From the fruit of a man's mouth shall his belly be filled. And the harvest of his own lips shall satisfy him.
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue. Whoever values it shall eat from its fruits.
22 He who has found a good wife has found goodness, and he shall draw contentment from the Lord. He who expels a good wife expels goodness. But he who holds on to an adulteress is foolish and impious.
