Proverbs 12:16-18

Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁶ An ^(A)ignorant fool’s ^[a]anger is known at once,
But a prudent man conceals disgrace.
¹⁷ He who breathes out truth declares what is right,
But a false witness, deceit.
¹⁸ There is one who ^(B)speaks rashly like the thrusts of a sword,
But the ^(C)tongue of the wise brings healing.
