Proverbs 12:17-19

21st Century King James Version

¹⁷ He that speaketh truth showeth forth righteousness, but a false witness, deceit.

¹⁸ There is he that speaketh like the piercings of a sword, but the tongue of the wise is healing.

¹⁹ The lips of truth shall be established for ever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
