¹⁹ A lip of truth endures forever,
    but a tongue of deception lasts only a moment.
²⁰ Deceit is in the heart^[a] of those who plan^[b] evil,
    but to those who plan^[c] peace, there is joy.

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

⁵ The righteous hates a word of falsehood;
    the wicked will bring shame and disgrace.^[a]

²⁶ He will kiss the lips,
    he who gives an honest answer.

¹⁸ Like a maniac who shoots
    firebrands, arrows, and death,
¹⁹ so is a man who deceives his neighbor,
    but says “Am I not joking?”
