Proverbs 18:24

Verse 24 of 24. The 18th of 31 chapters in Proverbs, in Poetry and Wisdom.

20A man’s stomach is filled with the fruit of his mouth. With the harvest of his lips he is satisfied.

21Death and life are in the power of the tongue; those who love it will eat its fruit.

22Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of the LORD.

23The poor plead for mercy, but the rich answer harshly.

24A man of many companions may be ruined, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
