The Message
Proverbs 12:17-19
The Message
17 Truthful witness by a good person clears the air,
but liars lay down a smoke screen of deceit.
18 Rash language cuts and maims,
but there is healing in the words of the wise.
19 Truth lasts;
lies are here today, gone tomorrow.
Proverbs 12:17-19
New International Version
Proverbs 12:17-19
New International Version
17 An honest witness tells the truth,
but a false witness tells lies.(A)
19 Truthful lips endure forever,
but a lying tongue lasts only a moment.
