Proverbs 12:22-26

²²Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord; But he that deals faithfully is accepted with him.

²³An understanding man is a throne of wisdom; But the heart of fools shall meet with curses.

²⁴The hand of chosen men shall easily obtain rule; But the deceitful shall be for a prey.

²⁵A terrible word troubles the heart of a righteous man; But a good message rejoices him.

²⁶A just arbitrator shall be his own friend; But mischief shall pursue sinners; And the way of ungodly men shall lead them astray.
