Proverbs 12:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶A fool immediately sheweth his anger: but he that dissembleth injuries is wise.

¹⁷He that speaketh that which he knoweth, sheweth forth justice: but he that lieth, is a deceitful witness.

¹⁸There is that promiseth, and is pricked as it were with a sword of conscience: but the tongue of the wise is health.
