18There is one who speaks rashly like the piercing of a sword, but the tongue of the wise heals.
19Truth’s lips will be established forever, but a lying tongue is only momentary.
20Deceit is in the heart of those who plot evil, but joy comes to the promoters of peace.
21No mischief shall happen to the upright, but the wicked shall be filled with evil.
22Lying lips are an abomination to Adonai , but those who do the truth are his delight.
