¹⁹ Truthful lips will endure forever,
But a ^(A)lying tongue is only for a moment.
²⁰ Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil,
But counselors of peace have joy.

^22 (A)Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord,
But those who deal faithfully are His delight.

⁵ A righteous person ^(A)hates a false statement,
But a wicked person ^[a](B)acts disgustingly and shamefully.

¹⁸ Like a maniac who shoots
^(A)Flaming arrows, arrows, and death,
¹⁹ So is a person who ^(B)deceives his neighbor,
And says, “^(C)Was I not joking?”
