Proverbs 12:18 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 12:18

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.

21 ^aNo grave¹ trouble will overtake the righteous,
But the wicked shall be filled with evil.

22 ^aLying lips are an abomination to the Lord,
But those who deal truthfully are His delight.
