Proverbs 12:18-24

  1. There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.

  2. The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.

  3. Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy.

  4. There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.

  5. Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.

  6. A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.

  7. The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.
