Proverbs 12:16-18

Young's Literal Translation

¹⁶The fool -- in a day is his anger known, And the prudent is covering shame.

¹⁷Whoso uttereth faithfulness declareth righteousness, And a false witness -- deceit.

¹⁸A rash speaker is like piercings of a sword, And the tongue of the wise is healing.
