A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.

Verse 20 is found in chapter 18 of Proverbs. The section addresses conflicts and relationships. In a dispute, the first account may seem convincing until the other side responds; this invites caution before judging. Casting lots may settle a dispute in certain contexts, but a verbal offense can separate close friends. The conclusion presents the friend who remains close as something different from simply accumulating relationships.

Einem Mann wird vergolten, darnach sein Mund geredet hat, und er wird gesättigt von der Frucht seiner Lippen.
Del fruto de la boca del hombre se hartará su vientre; Hartarase del producto de sus labios.
C'est du fruit de sa bouche que l'homme rassasie son corps, C'est du produit de ses lèvres qu'il se rassasie.
Il ventre dell’uomo sarà saziato del frutto della sua bocca; Egli sarà saziato della rendita delle sue labbra
Do fruto da boca de cada um se fartará o seu ventre; dos renovos dos seus lábios ficará satisfeito.
人的肚腹必因口所結的果實飽足; 他必因嘴唇所出的感到滿足。
