Proverbs 12:18-27
Christian Standard Bible
18 There is one who speaks rashly,
like a piercing sword;(A)
but the tongue of the wise brings healing.(B)
19 Truthful lips endure forever,
but a lying tongue, only a moment.(C)
20 Deceit is in the hearts of those who plot evil,
but those who promote peace have joy.(D)
21 No disaster overcomes the righteous,(E)
but the wicked are full of misery.
23 A shrewd person conceals knowledge,
but a foolish heart publicizes stupidity.(H)
24 The diligent hand will rule,
but laziness will lead to forced labor.(I)
25 Anxiety in a person’s heart weighs it down,
but a good word cheers it up.(J)
26 A righteous person is careful in dealing with his neighbor,[a]
but the ways of the wicked lead them astray.(K)
