17He that speaketh that, that he knoweth, is a judge of rightfulness; but he that lieth, is a guileful witness. (He who speaketh what he knoweth, is a just judge or is a judge of righteousness; but he who lieth, is a deceitful witness.)
18A man is that promiseth, and he is pricked as with the sword of conscience; but the tongue of wise men is health. (There is a person who speaketh, and his words cut like a sword; but the tongues of the wise give health.)
19The lip of truth shall be steadfast into without end; but he that is a sudden witness, maketh ready the tongue of leasing, (or but he who speaketh a ready answer, often haveth a lying tongue).
20Guile is in the heart of them that think evils; but joy followeth them that make counsels of peace.
21Whatever befalleth to a just man, it shall not make him sorry; but wicked men shall be filled with evil. (Whatever befalleth to the righteous, shall not bring them sorrow, or grief; but the wicked shall be filled with evil.)
22False lips is abomination to the Lord; but they that do faithfully, please him.
