New International Version
Proverbs 12:16-20
16Fools show their annoyance at once, but the prudent overlook an insult.
17An honest witness tells the truth, but a false witness tells lies.
18The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
19Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only a moment.
20Deceit is in the hearts of those who plot evil, but those who promote peace have joy.
