Proverbs 12:15-23 English Revised Version (ERV)

15. The way of the foolish is right in his own eyes: but he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsel.

16. A fool's vexation is presently known: but a prudent man concealeth shame.

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

18. There is that speaketh rashly 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 mischief happen to the righteous: but the wicked shall be filled with evil.

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

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