Proverbs 12:18-20

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁸ There is that promiseth, and is pricked as it were with a sword of conscience: but the tongue of the wise is health.

¹⁹ The lip of truth shall be steadfast for ever: but he that is a hasty witness, frameth a lying tongue.

²⁰ Deceit is in the heart of them that think evil things: but joy followeth them that take counsels of peace.
