Proverbs 12:17-19

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁷ Honest people speak the truth in court.
    But a person who tells lies never says what is true.
¹⁸ If you speak in a careless way, you may hurt other people.
    But when wise people speak, it makes people feel well.
¹⁹ True words continue to be true for ever.
    But people quickly see that lies are lies.
