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.
