16 A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent [man] covereth shame.
17 [He that] speaketh truth showeth forth righteousness: but a false witness, deceit.
18 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise [is] health.
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 them that imagine evil: but to the counselors of peace [is] joy.
