12:17 Whoso uttereth faithfulness declareth righteousness, And a false witness -- deceit.

12:18 A rash speaker is like piercings of a sword, And the tongue of the wise is healing.

12:19 The lip of truth is established for ever, And for a moment -- a tongue of falsehood.

12:20 Deceit [is] in the heart of those devising evil, And to those counselling peace [is] joy.

12:21 No iniquity is desired by the righteous, And the wicked have been full of evil.

12:22 An abomination to Jehovah [are] lying lips, And stedfast doers [are] his delight.

12:23 A prudent man is concealing knowledge, And the heart of fools proclaimeth folly.

13:1 A wise son -- the instruction of a father, And a scorner -- he hath not heard rebuke.

13:2 From the fruit of the mouth a man eateth good, And the soul of the treacherous -- violence.

13:3 Whoso is keeping his mouth, is keeping his soul, Whoso is opening wide his lips -- ruin to him!

13:4 The soul of the slothful is desiring, and hath not. And the soul of the diligent is made fat.

13:5 A false word the righteous hateth, And the wicked causeth abhorrence, and is confounded.
