Proverbs 12:16-18

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁶ When a fool becomes angry, everybody knows it!
    But a careful person keeps quiet when someone insults him.
¹⁷ Honest people speak the truth in court.
    But a person who tells lies never says what is true.
¹⁸ If you speak in a careless way, you may hurt other people.
    But when wise people speak, it makes people feel well.
