Proverbs 12:19-21
New Catholic Bible

19 Truthful speech endures forever,
    but deceitful lies last only for a moment.[a]
20 Deceit is in the heart of those who plot evil,
    but those who counsel peace have joy.
21 No harm befalls the righteous,
    but endless are the misfortunes of the wicked.
