Proverbs 12:18

Compare all

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.

19 The truthful lip shall be established forever,
^aBut a lying tongue is but for a moment.

20 Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil,
But counselors of peace have joy.
