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.

23 ^aA prudent man conceals knowledge,
But the heart of fools proclaims foolishness.

Proverbs 12:21

There shall no evil happen to the just - No, for all things work together for good to them that love God. Whatever occurs to a righteous man God turns to his advantage. But, on the other hand, the wicked are filled with mischief: they are hurt, grieved, and wounded, by every occurrence; and nothing turns to their profit.
