Proverbs 12:19-26 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

19. The lip of truth is established for ever, And for a moment--a tongue of falsehood.

20. Deceit [is] in the heart of those devising evil, And to those counselling peace [is] joy.

21. No iniquity is desired by the righteous, And the wicked have been full of evil.

22. An abomination to Jehovah [are] lying lips, And stedfast doers [are] his delight.

23. A prudent man is concealing knowledge, And the heart of fools proclaimeth folly.

24. The hand of the diligent ruleth, And slothfulness becometh tributary.

25. Sorrow in the heart of a man boweth down, And a good word maketh him glad.

26. The righteous searcheth his companion, And the way of the wicked causeth them to err.
