16 The senseless immediately reveals his anger. But whoever ignores injuries is clever.
17 He is a sign of justice, who speaks what he knows. But whoever deceives is a dishonest witness.
18 He who makes promises is also jabbed, as if with a sword, in conscience. But the tongue of the wise is reasonable.
19 The lips of truth shall be steadfast forever. But a hasty witness readies a lying tongue.
20 Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evils. But gladness follows those who take up counsels of peace.
