The person who tells one side of a story seems right, until someone else comes and asks questions. Throwing lots can settle arguments and keep the two sides from fighting. A brother who has been insulted is harder to win back than a walled city, and arguments separate people like the barred gates of a palace. People will be rewarded for what they say; they will be rewarded by how they speak. What you say can mean life or death. Those who speak with care will be rewarded.
