Berean Standard Bible
Proverbs 18:19
“An offended brother is harder to win than a fortified city, and disputes are like the bars of a castle.”
In context
17The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
18Casting the lot ends quarrels and separates strong opponents.
19An offended brother is harder to win than a fortified city, and disputes are like the bars of a castle.
20From the fruit of his mouth a man’s belly is filled; with the harvest from his lips he is satisfied.
21Life and death are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.
