Tree of Life Version
Proverbs 12:16-20
16A fool shows his irritation immediately, but a prudent person overlooks an insult.
17A trustworthy witness tells what is right, but a false witness, deceit.
18Reckless speech is like the thrusts of a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
19Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue for only a moment.
20Deceit is in the heart of those who plot evil, but those promoting shalom have joy.
