¹⁹ Truthful words stand the test of time,
    but lies are soon exposed.

²⁰ Deceit fills hearts that are plotting evil;
    joy fills hearts that are planning peace!

²² The Lord detests lying lips,
    but he delights in those who tell the truth.

⁵ The godly hate lies;
    the wicked cause shame and disgrace.

²⁶ An honest answer
    is like a kiss of friendship.

¹⁸ Just as damaging
    as a madman shooting a deadly weapon
¹⁹ is someone who lies to a friend
    and then says, “I was only joking.”
