SEV Biblia, Chapter 18:20
¶ Del fruto de la boca del hombre se llenará su vientre; se saciará del producto de sus labios.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 18:20
Verse 20. With the fruit of his mouth ] Our own words frequently shape our good or evil fortune in life.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 20. A man’s belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth , etc.] With his own words and discourses, when they are prudent, pious, and savoury; when they are with grace, and minister it; they are satisfying to himself, to his own mind and conscience, and to his family; to all within his house, which is, as it were, his belly; but, if otherwise, it will not be profitable nor satisfying to either; and therefore, if a man would keep conscience easy, and be useful to others, he ought to take care what he says; (see Proverbs 12:14 13:2); [and] with the increase of his lips shall he be filled ; the same thing as before, expressed in different words, alluding to the sowing, of seed in the earth, and the increase of it; as a man sows he reaps, and enjoys the fruits of his labour; according to what a man sows with his lips, such is his harvest he is afterwards a partaker of.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 20 - The belly is here put for the heart, as elsewhere; and what that is filled with, our satisfaction will be accordingly, and our inwar peace.
