Proverbs 12:18-28

18 Thoughtless words cut like a sword. But the tongue of wise people brings healing.
19 Truthful words last forever. But lies last for only a moment.
20 There are lies in the hearts of those who plan evil. But there is joy for those who work to bring peace.
21 No harm comes to godly people. But sinners have all the trouble they can handle.
22 The LORD hates those whose lips tell lies. But he is pleased with people who tell the truth.
23 Wise people keep their knowledge to themselves. But the hearts of foolish people shout foolish things.
24 Hands that work hard will rule. But people who don't want to work will become slaves.
25 Worry makes a man's heart heavy. But a kind word cheers him up.
26 Godly people are careful about the friends they choose. But the way of sinners leads them down the wrong path.
27 Anyone who refuses to work doesn't even cook what he catches. But a man who works hard values what he has.
28 There is life in doing what is right. Along that path you will never die.
