17Whoso uttereth faithfulness declareth righteousness, And a false witness — deceit.
18A rash speaker is like piercings of a sword, And the tongue of the wise is healing.
19The lip of truth is established for ever, And for a moment — a tongue of falsehood.
20Deceit is in the heart of those devising evil, And to those counselling peace is joy.
21No iniquity is desired by the righteous, And the wicked have been full of evil.
22An abomination to Jehovah are lying lips, And stedfast doers are his delight.
23A prudent man is concealing knowledge, And the heart of fools proclaimeth folly.
24The hand of the diligent ruleth, And slothfulness becometh tributary.
25Sorrow in the heart of a man boweth down, And a good word maketh him glad.
26The righteous searcheth his companion, And the way of the wicked causeth them to err.
