Proverbs 12:16-20

16When a fool becomes angry, everybody knows it! But a careful person keeps quiet when someone insults him.

17Honest people speak the truth in court. But a person who tells lies never says what is true.

18If you speak in a careless way, you may hurt other people. But when wise people speak, it makes people feel well.

19True words continue to be true for ever. But people quickly see that lies are lies.

20Someone who wants to cause trouble has a mind that is full of lies. But someone who wants to bring peace has a mind that is full of joy.
