God’s Word Translation
Proverbs 12:16-20
16When a stubborn fool is irritated, he shows it immediately, but a sensible person hides the insult.
17A truthful witness speaks honestly, but a lying witness speaks deceitfully.
18Careless words stab like a sword, but the words of wise people bring healing.
19The word of truth lasts forever, but lies last only a moment.
20Deceit is in the heart of those who plan evil, but joy belongs to those who advise peace.
