18There is that babbleth 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.
20Deceit is in the heart of them that devise evil; but to the counsellors of peace is joy.
21There shall no evil happen to a righteous man; but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
22Lying lips are an abomination to Jehovah; but they that deal truly are his delight.
23A prudent man concealeth knowledge; but the heart of the foolish proclaimeth folly.
