¹⁹ The lip of truth shall be established for ever;
But a lying tongue is but for a moment.
²⁰ Deceit is in the heart of them that devise evil;
But to the counsellors of peace is joy.

²² Lying lips are an abomination to Jehovah;
But they that deal truly are his delight.

⁵ A righteous man hateth lying;
But a wicked man ^[a]is loathsome, and cometh to shame.

²⁶ He ^[a]kisseth the lips
Who giveth a right answer.

¹⁸ As a madman who casteth firebrands,
Arrows, and death,
¹⁹ So is the man that deceiveth his neighbor,
And saith, Am not I in sport?
