Proverbs 12:18

Proverbs Of Solomon

¹⁷ He who speaks truth tells what is right,
But a false witness, deceit.
¹⁸ There is one who speaks rashly like the thrusts of a sword,
But the tongue of the wise brings healing.
¹⁹ Truthful lips will be established forever,
But a lying tongue is only for a moment.
