Proverbs 12:18

King James Version

¹⁸There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.

²⁵Anxiety weighs down the heart,^(A)
but a kind word cheers it up.

²⁵Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.

¹⁵The way of fools seems right to them,^(A)
but the wise listen to advice.^(B)

¹⁵The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.
