Proverbs 12:16

Proverbs 12:16

14 ^aA man will be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth,
^bAnd the recompense of a man’s hands will be rendered to him.

15 ^aThe way of a fool is right in his own eyes,
But he who heeds counsel is wise.

16 ^aA fool’s wrath is known at once,
But a prudent man covers shame.

17 ^aHe who speaks truth declares righteousness,
But a false witness, deceit.

18 ^aThere is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword,
But the tongue of the wise promotes health.
