¹⁹ Truth’s lips will be established forever,
    but a lying tongue is only momentary.
²⁰ Deceit is in the heart of those who plot evil,
    but joy comes to the promoters of peace.

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

⁵ A righteous man hates lies,
    but a wicked man brings shame and disgrace.

²⁶ An honest answer
    is like a kiss on the lips.

¹⁸ Like a madman who shoots torches, arrows, and death,
¹⁹     is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, “Am I not joking?”
