Proverbs 12:18-20

Lexham English Bible

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.
²⁰ Deceit is in the heart^[a] of those who plan^[b] evil,
    but to those who plan^[c] peace, there is joy.
