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, And whoso is hearkening to counsel is wise.
16
The fool--in a day is his anger known, And the prudent is covering shame.
17
Whoso uttereth faithfulness declareth righteousness, And a false witness--deceit.
18
A rash speaker is like piercings of a sword, And the tongue of the wise is healing.
19
The lip of truth is established for ever, And for a moment--a tongue of falsehood.
20
Deceit is in the heart of those devising evil, And to those counselling peace is joy.
21
No iniquity is desired by the righteous, And the wicked have been full of evil.
22
An abomination to Jehovah are lying lips, And stedfast doers are his delight.
23
A prudent man is concealing knowledge, And the heart of fools proclaimeth folly.
