Proverbs 12:15-25

15 The way of the fool is right in his own eyes, but he that hears counsel is wise.
16 A fool’s wrath is presently known, but he who covers the injury is sane.
17 He that speaks truth shows forth righteousness, but a false witness, deceit.
18 There are those that speak like the piercings of a sword, but the tongue of the wise is medicine.
19 The lip of truth shall be established for ever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
20 Deceit is in the heart of those whose thoughts are evil, but joy in that of those whose thoughts are good.
21 No iniquity shall overtake the righteous: but the wicked shall be filled with evil.
22 Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but the workers of the truth are his delight.
23 The sane man conceals his wisdom: but the heart of fools proclaims foolishness.
24 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the negligent shall be under tribute.
25 Heaviness in the heart of man makes it stoop: but a good word makes it glad.
