Proverbs 12:18-20

Jubilee Bible 2000

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

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 those whose thoughts are evil, but joy in that of those whose thoughts are good.
