Proverbs 12:12-20 New Century Version (NCV)

12. The wicked want what other evil people have stolen,but good people want to give what they have to others.

13. Evil people are trapped by their evil talk,but good people stay out of trouble.

14. People will be rewarded for what they say,and they will also be rewarded for what they do.

15. Fools think they are doing right,but the wise listen to advice.

16. Fools quickly show that they are upset,but the wise ignore insults.

17. An honest witness tells the truth,but a dishonest witness tells lies.

18. Careless words stab like a sword,but wise words bring healing.

19. Truth will continue forever,but lies are only for a moment.

20. Those who plan evil are full of lies,but those who plan peace are happy.
