Proverbs 12:15-23

The Power of Truth and Prudence

Proverbs 12:15-23
15
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes; But he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsel.
16
A fool’s vexation is presently known; But a prudent man concealeth shame.
17
He that uttereth truth showeth forth righteousness; But a false witness, deceit.
18
There is that speaketh rashly like the piercings of a sword; But the tongue of the wise is health.
19
The lip of truth shall be established for ever; But a lying tongue is but for a moment.
20
Deceit is in the heart of them that devise evil; But to the counsellors of peace is joy.
21
There shall no mischief happen to the righteous; But the wicked shall be filled with evil.
22
Lying lips are an abomination to Jehovah; But they that deal truly are his delight.
23
A prudent man concealeth knowledge; But the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
