Proverbs 12:13-19 Modern English Version (MEV)

13. The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips,but the just will come out of trouble.

14. A man will be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth,and the recompense of a man’s hands will be rendered to him.

15. The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,but he who listens to counsel is wise.

16. A fool’s wrath is presently known,but a prudent man covers shame.

17. He who speaks truth shows forth righteousness,but a false witness deceit.

18. There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword,but the tongue of the wise is health.

19. The truthful lip will be established forever,but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
