There fell

The wise man [wins] favor by the words of his mouth, but the fool is devoured by his own lips.

But knowing their thoughts, he said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.

But if you bite and devour one another, watch out [that] you are not consumed by one another.
