Proverbs 12:15-21 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

15. The way of a fool is right in his own eyes; but he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsel.

16. The vexation of the fool is presently known; but a prudent man covereth shame.

17. He that uttereth truth sheweth forth righteousness; but a false witness deceit.

18. There is that babbleth like the piercings of a sword; but the tongue of the wise is health.

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

20. Deceit is in the heart of them that devise evil; but to the counsellors of peace is joy.

21. There shall no evil happen to a righteous man; but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
