20 From the fruit of the mouth one's stomach is satisfied; the yield of the lips brings satisfaction.
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.
(Read Proverbs 18:20)
The belly is here put for the heart, as elsewhere; and what that is filled with, our satisfaction will be accordingly, and our inward peace.
(Read Proverbs 18:21)
