Proverbs 12:16-18

21st Century King James Version

¹⁶ A fool’s wrath is known at once, but a prudent man covereth shame.

¹⁷ He that speaketh truth showeth forth righteousness, but a false witness, deceit.

¹⁸ There is he that speaketh like the piercings of a sword, but the tongue of the wise is healing.
