Proverbs 12:14–23
14 zA man shall be asatisfied with good by athe fruit of his mouth:
And the brecompence of a man’s hands shall be rendered unto him.
15 cThe way of a fool is right in his own eyes:
But he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.
16 dA fool’s wrath is †presently known:
But a prudent man covereth shame.
17 He that espeaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness:
But ea false witness deceit.
18 eeThere is that fspeaketh glike the piercings of a sword:
But the tongue of the wise is hhealth.
19 The lip of truth shall be established for ever:
But ia lying tongue is but for a moment.
20 Deceit is in the heart of them that kimagine evil:
But to the counsellers of peace is joy.
21 lThere shall no evil happen to the just:
But the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
22 mLying lips are mnabomination to the Lord:
But they that deal truly are his delight.
23 oA prudent man concealeth knowledge:
But othe heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
