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.
(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)
Many a one has caused his own death, or the death of others, by a false or injurious tongue.
