New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Proverbs 18
20 With the fruit of a man’s mouth his stomach will be satisfied; He will be satisfied with the product of his lips.
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.
22 He who finds a wife finds a good thing And obtains favor from the Lord.
23 The poor man utters supplications, But the rich man answers roughly.
24 A man of too many friends comes to ruin, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
Proverbs 19
1 Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity Than he who is perverse in speech and is a fool.
2 Also it is not good for a person to be without knowledge, And he who hurries his footsteps errs.
3 The foolishness of man ruins his way, And his heart rages against the Lord.
4 Wealth adds many friends, But a poor man is separated from his friend.
5 A false witness will not go unpunished, And he who tells lies will not escape.
6 Many will seek the favor of a generous man, And every man is a friend to him who gives gifts.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
