Proverbs

¹⁹The lip of truth shall be established for ever; But a lying tongue is but for a moment. ²⁰Deceit is in the heart of them that devise evil; But to the counsellors of peace is joy. ²¹There shall no mischief happen to the righteous; But the wicked shall be filled with evil. ²²Lying lips are an abomination to Jehovah; But they that deal truly are his delight. ²³A prudent man concealeth knowledge; But the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness. ²⁴The hand of the diligent shall bear rule; But the slothful shall be put under taskwork. ²⁵Heaviness in the heart of a man maketh it stoop; But a good word maketh it glad.
