Proverbs 12:14-17
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 12

14A person will be satisfied with good by the fruit of his words, And the deeds of a person’s hands will return to him. 15The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, But a person who listens to advice is wise. 16A fool’s anger is known at once, But a prudent person conceals dishonor. 17One who declares truth tells what is right, But a false witness, deceit.
King James Version

16A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame.
17He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.
