Proverbs 12:17-19
The Voice
17 A faithful witness speaks the truth,
but a false witness utters lies.
18 Thoughtless words cut deeply like a thrusting sword,
but the speech of the wise is a healing balm.
19 Truth spoken will stand forever,
but lies survive only briefly.
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.
