Proverbs 12:16-18

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁶ ¶ A fool’s wrath is presently known, but he who covers the injury is sane.

¹⁷ ¶ He that speaks truth shows forth righteousness, but a false witness, deceit.

¹⁸ ¶ There are those that speak like the piercings of a sword, but the tongue of the wise is medicine.
