Proverbs 12:16-19
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 12
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. 18There is one who speaks rashly like the thrusts of a sword, But the tongue of the wise brings healing. 19Truthful lips will endure forever, But a lying tongue is only for a moment.King James Version

16The vexation of a fool is known at once, but the prudent ignores an insult. 17Whoever speaks the truth gives honest evidence, but a false witness utters deceit. 18There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. 19Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment.New International Version
