Proverbs 12:17-19
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

17 Whoever speaks the truth gives honest evidence,
    but a false witness speaks deceitfully.(A)
18 Rash words are like sword thrusts,
    but the tongue of the wise brings healing.(B)
19 Truthful lips endure forever,
    but a lying tongue lasts only a moment.(C)
