Proverbs 12:16-20
16A fool’sH191 vexation is presently knownH3045;But a prudent man concealeth shameH7036.17He that uttereth truth showeth forth righteousnessH6664;But a false witnessH5707, deceitH4820.18There is that speaketh rashlyH981 like the piercings of a swordH2719;But the tongueH3956 of the wiseH2450 is health.19The lipH8193 of truthH571 shall be establishedH3559 for everH5703;But a lyingH8267 tongueH3956 is but for a moment.20DeceitH4820 is in the heartH3820 of them that devise evilH7451;But to the counsellors of peaceH7965 is joyH8057.
