Proverbs 12:18-20

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁸ Rash words are like sword thrusts,
    but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
¹⁹ Truthful lips endure for ever,
    but a lying tongue lasts only a moment.
²⁰ Deceit is in the mind of those who plan evil,
    but those who counsel peace have joy.
