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 hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.
16
¶ A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame.
17
¶ He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.
18
¶ There is that speaketh 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 imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy.
21
¶ There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
22
¶ Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.
23
¶ A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
