Proverbs 12:18-20

Modern English Version

¹⁸ There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword,
    but the tongue of the wise is health.

¹⁹ The truthful lip will be established forever,
    but a lying tongue is but for a moment.

²⁰ Deceit is in the heart of those who imagine evil,
    but to the counselors of peace is joy.
