Proverbs 12:20-22

New King James Version

²⁰Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil,
But counselors of peace have joy.
²¹^(A)No grave ^[a]trouble will overtake the righteous,
But the wicked shall be filled with evil.
²²^(B)Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord,
But those who deal truthfully are His delight.
