Proverbs 12:21

There is one who speaks rashly like the piercing of a sword,

but the tongue of the wise heals.

Truth’s lips will be established forever,

but a lying tongue is only momentary.

Deceit is in the heart of those who plot evil,

but joy comes to the promoters of peace.

Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD,

but those who do the truth are his delight.

A prudent man keeps his knowledge,

but the hearts of fools proclaim foolishness.

The hands of the diligent ones shall rule,

but laziness ends in slave labor.
