Proverbs 12:18-20

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁸ There are those who speak rashly, like the piercing of a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.

¹⁹ Truthful lips shall be established forever, but a lying tongue is [credited] but for a moment.

²⁰ Deceit is in the hearts of those who devise evil, but for the counselors of peace there is joy.
