English Standard Version
Proverbs 12:16-20
16The vexation of a fool is known at once, but the prudent ignores an insult.
17Whoever speaks the truth gives honest evidence, but a false witness utters deceit.
18There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
19Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
20Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil, but those who plan peace have joy.
