¹⁷ He who is truthful testifies honestly,
    but a false witness lies.

¹⁹ Truth’s lips will be established forever,
    but a lying tongue is only momentary.
²⁰ Deceit is in the heart of those who plot evil,
    but joy comes to the promoters of peace.

²² Lying lips are an abomination to Yahweh,
    but those who do the truth are his delight.
