Proverbs 12:18-20

New Life Version

¹⁸ There is one whose foolish words cut like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.

¹⁹ Lips that tell the truth will last forever, but a lying tongue lasts only for a little while.

²⁰ Lying is in the heart of those who plan what is bad, but those who plan peace have joy.
