Proverbs 18:20

20From the fruit of a man’s mouth shall his belly be filled. And the harvest of his own lips shall satisfy him.
18:20The word ‘harvest’ is a looser translation of ‘genimina,’ because the latter is clearly a continuation of the metaphor from earlier in the same verse. There is the fruit of a man’s mouth and the ‘genimina’ (spouts, shoots, vegetables, crops, produce, etc.). The translation of harvest makes the verse more comprehensible in English than any of the more literal translation choices.(Conte)
