Proverbs 12:16-20

16A fool’s wrath is known at once, But a prudent man covers shame.

17He who speaks truth declares righteousness, But a false witness, deceit.

18There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword, But the tongue of the wise promotes health.

19The truthful lip shall be established forever, But a lying tongue is but for a moment.

20Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil, But counselors of peace have joy.
