Proverbs

¹⁶A fool's vexation is presently known: but a prudent man concealeth shame. ¹⁷He that uttereth truth sheweth forth righteousness, but a false witness deceit. ¹⁸There is that speaketh rashly like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health. 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 the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.
