Proverbs 12:17-19

Lexham English Bible

¹⁷ He who will speak truth will reveal righteousness,
    but the witness of falsehood, deceit.
¹⁸ There is one who speaks rashly, like the thrust of a sword,
    but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
¹⁹ A lip of truth endures forever,
    but a tongue of deception lasts only a moment.
