18There is some one that useth words which are like the thrusts of a sword; but the tongue of the wise is healing.
19The lip of truth will stand firm for ever; but only for a moment the tongue of falsehood.
20Deceit is in the heart of those that contrive evil; but for the counsellors of peace there is joy.
21No wrong can come unawares to the righteous; but the wicked are full of evil.
22An abomination of the Lord are lips of falsehood; but they that deal in faithfulness obtain his favor.
