15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,But he who heeds counsel is wise.
16 A fool’s wrath is known at once,But a prudent man covers shame.
17 He who speaks truth declares righteousness,But a false witness, deceit.
18 There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword,But the tongue of the wise promotes health.
19 The truthful lip shall be established forever,But a lying tongue is but for a moment.
20 Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil,But counselors of peace have joy.
21 No grave trouble will overtake the righteous,But the wicked shall be filled with evil.
