Proverbs 12:17-19
Legacy Standard Bible
17 He who breathes out truth declares what is right,
But a false witness, deceit.
18 There is one who (A)speaks rashly like the thrusts of a sword,
But the (B)tongue of the wise brings healing.
19 Truthful lips will be established forever,
But a (C)lying tongue is only for a moment.
Proverbs 12:17-19
King James Version
17 He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.
18 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.
19 The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
