Proverbs 12:17

Lexham English Bible

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

Proverbs 12:17

World English Bible

¹⁷He who is truthful testifies honestly,
but a false witness lies.

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

¹⁹Truth’s lips will be established forever,
but a lying tongue is only momentary.

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

²²Lying lips are an abomination to Yahweh,
but those who do the truth are his delight.
