Proverbs 12:18-20

International Standard Version

¹⁸ Some speak rashly like the cutting of a sword,
    but what the wise say promotes healing.
¹⁹ A truthful saying^[a] is trusted forever,
    but the liar^[b] only for a moment.
²⁰ Deceit is at home^[c] in the heart of those who plan evil,
    but those who promote peace rejoice.
