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 counsels.
16
A fool immediately sheweth his anger: but he that dissembleth injuries is wise.
17
He that speaketh that which he knoweth, sheweth forth justice: but he that lieth, is a deceitful witness.
18
There is that promiseth, and is pricked as it were with a sword of conscience: but the tongue of the wise is health.
19
The lip of truth shall be steadfast for ever: but he that is a hasty witness, frameth a lying tongue.
20
Deceit is in the heart of them that think evil things: but joy followeth them that take counsels of peace.
21
Whatsoever shall befall the just man, shall not make him sad: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
22
Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord: but they that deal faithfully, please him.
23
A cautious man concealeth knowledge: and the heart of fools publisheth folly.
