Proverbs 12:13-20 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

13. An evil man is trapped by sinfulness of lips,but the righteous shall come out of trouble.

14. A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth.The work of a man’s hands shall be rewarded to him.

15. The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,but he who is wise listens to counsel.

16. A fool shows his annoyance the same day,but one who overlooks an insult is prudent.

17. He who is truthful testifies honestly,but a false witness lies.

18. There is one who speaks rashly like the piercing of a sword,but the tongue of the wise heals.

19. Truth’s lips will be established forever,but a lying tongue is only momentary.

20. Deceit is in the heart of those who plot evil,but joy comes to the promoters of peace.
