Proverbs 12:18-20

World English Bible

¹⁸ There is one who speaks rashly like the piercing of a sword,
    but the tongue of the wise heals.
¹⁹ Truth’s lips will be established forever,
    but a lying tongue is only momentary.
²⁰ Deceit is in the heart of those who plot evil,
    but joy comes to the promoters of peace.
