Truthful lips will be established forever,
But a lying tongue is [credited] only for a moment.

Lying lips are extremely disgusting to the Lord,
But those who deal faithfully are His delight.^(A)

A truthful witness saves lives,
But he who speaks lies is treacherous.

Righteous lips are the delight of kings,
And he who speaks right is loved.

The righteous man who walks in integrity and lives life in accord with his [godly] beliefs—
How blessed [happy and spiritually secure] are his children after him [who have his example to follow].
