Proverbs 12:17-20 Modern English Version (MEV)

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.

20. Deceit is in the heart of those who imagine evil,but to the counselors of peace is joy.
