17 Whoso uttereth faithfulness declareth righteousness, And a false witness -- deceit.
18 A rash speaker is like piercings of a sword, And the tongue of the wise is healing.
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.
