Proverbs 12:19-25 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

19. The lip of truth shall be steadfast for ever: but he that is a hasty witness, frameth a lying tongue.

20. Deceit is in the heart of them that think evil things: but joy followeth them that take counsels of peace.

21. Whatsoever shall befall the just man, it shall not make him sad: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.

22. Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord: but they that deal faithfully please him.

23. A cautious man concealeth knowledge: and the heart of fools publisheth folly.

24. The hand of the valiant shall bear rule: but that which is slothful, shall be under tribute.

25. Grief in the heart of a man shall bring him low, but with a good word he shall be made glad.
