16 A fool's wrath is presently known:but a prudent man covereth shame.
17 He that speaketh truth showeth forth righteousness:but a false witness deceit.
18 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword:but the tongue of the wise is health.
19 The lip of truth shall be established for ever:but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
20 Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil:but to the counselors of peace is joy.
21 There shall no evil happen to the just:but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
22 Lying lips are abomination to the Lord:but they that deal truly are his delight.
