Proverbs 12:16-18

American Standard Version

¹⁶ A fool’s vexation is ^[a]presently known;
But a prudent man concealeth shame.
¹⁷ He that ^[b]uttereth truth showeth forth righteousness;
But a false witness, deceit.
¹⁸ There is that speaketh rashly like the piercings of a sword;
But the tongue of the wise is health.
