¹⁷ He who speaks truth shows forth righteousness,
    but a false witness deceit.

¹⁹ The truthful lip will be established forever,
    but a lying tongue is but for a moment.

²⁰ Deceit is in the heart of those who imagine evil,
    but to the counselors of peace is joy.

²² Lying lips are abomination to the Lord,
    but those who deal truly are His delight.
