The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty.
19 Ɗan’uwan da aka yi wa laifi ya fi birni mai katanga wuyan shiryawa, kuma faɗace-faɗace suna kama da ƙofofin ƙarfe na fada.
A brother offended is [harder to be won] than a strong city; and contentions are as the bars of a palace.
20 Daga abin da baki ya furta ne cikin mutum kan cika; girbi daga leɓunansa kuma yakan ƙoshi.
A man's belly is satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; with the increase of his lips is he satisfied.
21 Harshe yana da ikon rai da mutuwa, kuma waɗanda suke ƙaunarsa za su ci amfaninsa.
