Proverbs 12:16-20

16A fool’sH191 angerH3708 is knownH3045 at onceH3117, but a prudentH6175 man overlooksH3680 an insultH7036.

17He who speaksH6315 the truthH530 declaresH5046 what is rightH6664,but a falseH8267 witnessH5707 speaks deceitH4820.
18Speaking rashlyH3426H981 is like a piercingH4094 swordH2719,but the tongueH3956 of the wiseH2450 brings healingH4832.
19TruthfulH571 lipsH8193 endure foreverH3559H5703,but a lyingH8267 tongueH3956 lasts onlyH5704 a momentH7280.
20DeceitH4820 is in the heartsH3820 of those who deviseH2790 evilH7451,but the counselorsH3289 of peaceH7965 have joyH8057.
