Proverbs 12:19-28

¹⁹The lip of trueth shall be stable for euer: but a lying tongue varieth incontinently.

²⁰Deceite is in the heart of them that imagine euill: but to the counsellers of peace shall be ioye.

²¹There shall none iniquitie come to the iust: but the wicked are full of euill.

²²The lying lips are an abomination to the Lord: but they that deale truely are his delite.

²³A wise man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of the fooles publisheth foolishnes.

²⁴The hand of the diligent shall beare rule: but the idle shalbe vnder tribute.

²⁵Heauines in the heart of man doeth bring it downe: but a good worde reioyceth it.

²⁶The righteous is more excellent then his neighbour: but the way of the wicked will deceiue them.

²⁷The deceitfull man rosteth not, that hee tooke in hunting: but the riches of the diligent man are precious.

²⁸Life is in the way of righteousnesse, and in that path way there is no death.
