Proverbs 12:18


Proverbs 12:17 Proverbs 12:18 (KJV) Proverbs 12:19
[He that] speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.
There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise [is] health.
The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue [is] but for a moment.
