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

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.
