Proverbs 12:17-19

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁷ ¶ He that speaks truth shows forth righteousness, but a false witness, deceit.

¹⁸ ¶ There are those that speak like the piercings of a sword, but the tongue of the wise is medicine.

¹⁹ ¶ The lip of truth shall be established for ever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
