Proverbs 12:17

Lexham English Bible

¹⁷He who will speak truth will reveal righteousness,
but the witness of falsehood, deceit.

Proverbs 12:17

American Standard Version

¹⁷He that ^[a]uttereth truth showeth forth righteousness;
But a false witness, deceit.

¹⁹A lip of truth endures forever,
but a tongue of deception lasts only a moment.

¹⁹The lip of truth shall be established for ever;
But a lying tongue is but for a moment.

²²An abomination of Yahweh are lips of deceit,
but they who act faithfully are his delight.

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