Bible Question:
pls can zou explain proverbs 18 vs 21 and 22 for me |
Bible Answer: Greetings Isaacrotimi, Proverbs 18:21 "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits." [ESV] Proverbs 18:22 "He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the LORD." [ESV] Regarding Verse 21, a few related Scripture verses that will help explain this verse are: Proverbs 18:4-7, 10:19,20,21,31, 11:30; Matthew 12:35-37; Romans 10:14,15; 2 Corinthians 2:16, 11:15; Ephesians 4:29; Colossians 4:6; Titus 1:10,11; James 3:6-9; 2 Peter 2:18; Ecclesiastes 10:12-14 and Isaiah 57:19. The tongue can be used for both good and evil, and those who 'love it', whether for good or evil, will reap its fruits as well as 'eating of its fruits.' Regarding Verse 22, I believe that it is pretty straightforward, but I will include these related verses as well that will help explain this verse: Proverbs 5:15-23, 12:4, 19:14, 31:10-31; Genesis 24:67, 29:20,21,28; Ecclesiastes 9:9; Hosea 12:12; 1 Corinthians 7:2 Blessings to you, Makarios |
