Proverbs
Chapters 12:14-20
Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version
14People get good things for the words they say, and they are rewarded for the work they do.
15Fools always think their own way is best, but wise people listen to what others tell them.
16Fools are easily upset, but wise people avoid insulting others.
17Good people speak the truth and can be trusted in court, but liars make bad witnesses.
18Speak without thinking, and your words can cut like a knife. Be wise, and your words can heal.
19Lies last only a moment, but the truth lasts forever.
20People who work for evil make trouble, but those who plan for peace bring happiness.
