Proverbs 12:16-20

16A fool’sH191 wrathH3708 is presentlyH3117 knownH3045: but a prudentH6175 man coverethH3680 shameH7036.1

17He that speakethH6315 truthH530 sheweth forthH5046 righteousnessH6664: but a falseH8267 witnessH5707 deceitH4820.

18There isH3426 that speakethH981 like the piercingsH4094 of a swordH2719: but the tongueH3956 of the wiseH2450 is healthH4832.

19The lipH8193 of truthH571 shall be establishedH3559 for everH5703: but a lyingH8267 tongueH3956 is but for a momentH7280.

20DeceitH4820 is in the heartH3820 of them that imagineH2790 evilH7451: but to the counsellorsH3289 of peaceH7965 is joyH8057.
