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.
