Proverbs 12:14-19
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 12
14
A person will be satisfied with good by the fruit of his words,
And the deeds of a person’s hands will return to him.
15
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,
But a person who listens to advice is wise.
16
A fool’s anger is known at once,
But a prudent person conceals dishonor.
17
One
who
declares truth tells what is right,
But a false witness, deceit.
18
There is one who speaks rashly like the thrusts of a sword,
But the tongue of the wise brings healing.
19
Truthful lips will endure forever,
But a lying tongue is only for a moment.
King James Version
Chapter 12
14
A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.
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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 12
14
A person will be satisfied with good
by the fruit of his mouth,
and the work of a person’s hands will reward him.
15
A fool’s way is right in his own eyes,
but whoever listens to counsel is wise.
16
A fool’s displeasure is known at once,
but whoever ignores an insult is sensible.
17
Whoever speaks the truth declares what is right,
but a false witness speaks deceit.
18
There is one who speaks rashly,
like a piercing sword;
but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
19
Truthful lips endure forever,
but a lying tongue, only a moment.
New Living Translation
Chapter 12
14
Wise words bring many benefits,
and hard work brings rewards.
15
Fools think their own way is right,
but the wise listen to others.
16
A fool is quick-tempered,
but a wise person stays calm when insulted.
17
An honest witness tells the truth;
a false witness tells lies.
18
Some people make cutting remarks,
but the words of the wise bring healing.
19
Truthful words stand the test of time,
but lies are soon exposed.
English Standard Version

but a wise man listens to advice.
16

Truthful lips endure forever,
but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
New International Version

But a lying tongue
is
but for a moment.
