¹⁷ He that speaketh that, that he knoweth, is a judge of rightfulness; but he that lieth, is a guileful witness. (He who speaketh what he knoweth, is a just judge/is a judge of righteousness; but he who lieth, is a deceitful witness.)

¹⁹ The lip of truth shall be steadfast [into] without end; but he that is a sudden witness, maketh ready the tongue of leasing (but he who speaketh a ready answer, often haveth a lying tongue).

²⁰ Guile is in the heart of them that think evils; but joy followeth them that make counsels of peace.

²² False lips is abomination to the Lord; but they that do faithfully, please him.
