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.
21 Whatever may befall the just, it will not discourage him. But the impious will be filled with disasters.
22 Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord. But whoever acts faithfully pleases him.
