PROVERBS 12:13-19

¹³In the transgression of the lips is a snare to the evil man: but the righteous shall come out of trouble.

¹⁴A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the doings of a man’s hands shall be rendered unto him.

¹⁵The way of the foolish is right in his own eyes: but he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsel.

¹⁶A fool’s vexation is presently known: but a prudent man concealeth shame.

¹⁷He that uttereth truth sheweth forth righteousness, but a false witness deceit.

¹⁸There is that speaketh rashly like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.

¹⁹The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
