Proverbs 18:20

1798–1870
Presbyterian
SCRIPTURE

"A man`s belly shall be filled with the fruit of his mouth; With the increase of his lips shall he be satisfied." — Proverbs 18:20 (ASV)

The general sense is plain. A man must for good or evil take the consequence of his words, as well as his deeds. Compare the reference in the margin.
